Wikijunior New Book of the Quarter was started as an attempt to formalize the process of creating new Wikijunior Wikibooks. At the time, Wikijunior was stagnating, and the community needed opportunities to start new Wikijunior projects. It has successfully focused the small community working within Wikijunior to work together effectively. For more information, please see the New Title Policy.

In July of 2007 we changed the policy to shorten the lead time required to launch a book, by allowing books to be launched whenever they have garnered enough support. However each book is still launched successively so that the community a a whole can participate in the launch of each book.
