The Newbery Medal is the big award; only one is given yearly. The Newbery Honor goes to the runner-ups, usually two to four books, although there are a couple years in the 1930s which have eight, which seems wholly excessive.
Hamilton won the Newbery Medal for M. C. Higgins, the Great and got Newbery Honors for The Planet of Junior Brown, Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush (that's the one where the girl meets her hot ghost uncle), and In the Beginning: Creation Stories from Around the World.
