Caldecott Medal

	The Caldecott Medal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		When the Caldecott Medal was accepted in 1937, the Section for Library Work with Children invited the School Libraries Section to name five of its members to the awards committee each year.
		For this reason the Caldecott Medal inscription reads: "Awarded annually by the Children's and School Librarians Sections of the American Library Association." This is a combination and simplification of the actual names of the sections.
		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.

	Trends in Caldecott Winning Books
		Randolph Caldecott, born in Chester, in Cheshire England in 1846, is known as the father of the picture book genre because he was the first to illustrate stories for children in which the pictures told a story in addition to the story told by the text.
		Unlike the Newbery Award, in which the author is honored by the award, the Caldecott Medal is 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 of the United States, whether or not he be the author of the text." (Peltola 153) The complete terms of the Caldecott award can be located today on the ALA website (www.ala.org).

		How the Caldecott Medal Came to Be Each year the Newbery Medal is awarded by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's books published the previous year.
		However, as many persons became concerned that the artists creating picture books for children were as deserving of honor and encouragement as were the authors of children's books, Frederic G. Melcher suggested in 1937 the establishment of a second annual medal.
		Such books were referred to as Newbery or Caldecott "runners-up." In 1971 the term "runners-up" was changed to "honor books." The new terminology was made retroactive so that all former runners-up are now referred to as Newbery or Caldecott Honor Books.
