Your Fall Newbery/Caldecott 2021 ‘Hey, Keep an Eye Out’ Lists

Fall is when things start getting serious in the Newbery and Caldecott world. The committees will be starting to make their nominations. Attention is focusing on an increasingly smaller group of books.

So now seems like a good time to peek in at the 2021 Mock Newbery and Mock Caldecott lists over on Goodreads. Will we see any of these books on the podium come January 25th?

As always, it’s important to remember that these lists are open to voting by any Goodreads user (so DEFINITELY take them with a grain of salt), but they are sometimes fairly accurate (check out the Newbery list from last year).

How has support shifted? You can compare and contrast with the same lists back in August.
