Caldecott Medal and Honor Winners

What is the Caldecott Medal? According to their website:

The Caldecott Medal “shall be awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American Picture Book for Children published in the United States during the preceding year. The award shall go to the artist, who must be a citizen or resident of the United States, whether or not he be the author of the text. Members of the Newbery Medal Committee will serve as judges. If a book of the year is nominated for both the Newbery and Caldecott Awards the committee shall decide under which heading it shall be voted upon, so that the same title shall not be considered on both ballots.” In 1977 the Board of Directors of the Association for Library Service to Children rescinded the final part of the 1937 action and approved that “any book published in the preceding year shall be eligible to be considered for either award or both awards.” Separate committees to choose the Newbery and Caldecott Awards were established in 1978 and began with the 1980 selection committees.
