Caldecott Medal Winners

The Caldecott Medal Winners are awarded annually by the Association for Library Services to Children, the American Library Association.

The Caldecott Medal is an annual award for the most distinguished picture book for children published during the previous year. It was the first award to recognize the work of an illustrator of a book.

The award is limited to artists who are U.S. citizens or residents, and whose work was published within the past year.

The face of the Caldecott Medal has a reproduction of Randolph Caldecott's original illustration of John Gilpin's ride from the famous narrative poem "The Diverting History of John Gilpin" by William Cowper.
