Top children’s books

NEW YORK

Kwame Alexander’s “The Crossover,” a novel in verse about basketball and coming of age, has won the John Newbery Medal for the year’s best children’s book. Author-illustrator Dan Santat’s “The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend,” which features an island for pretend playmates, received the Randolph Caldecott Medal for best picture book.

The awards were announced Monday by the American Library Association. The Newbery and Caldecott awards are widely regarded as the highest honors in children’s publishing, near-guarantors of increased sales and lasting places on library shelves.
