What is the Caldecott Medal?

]]> I spoke briefly about the Caldecott Medal several days ago when I wrote of Tasha Tudor’s death.

The Caldecott Medal began in 1938 and is given annually by the American Library Association for the most distinguished picture book published in the previous year in the United States. It is announced at the Annual ALA Mid-Winter Convention and awarded at the convention.

The medal was named for Nineteenth-Century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott.
