Caldecott Award

E-mail Print PDF

Each year The Association for Library Service for Children awards the Caldecott Medal to "the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children."  The award is named after Randolph Caldecott, a renowned illustrator of the 19th century.  Although only one book is selected each year to receive the Medal, several books are also given the Caldecott Honor distinction.  Click here for a list of Medal and Honor winners!
