Note: This mediation is designed for Teen courses.

In this mediation activity, students delve into the world of children’s book illustrations by exploring the prestigious Newbery Medal. Through discussions on goals and aspirations inspired by the dedication of Newbery winners, analysis of award-winning illustrations, and hands-on creation of their own artwork, students gain insight into the significance of artistic achievement, the power of visualization, and the importance of setting personal goals. This holistic approach fosters creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression, empowering students to translate their dreams into tangible illustrations while gaining a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling through visuals.
