In addition to the books that arrived earlier this month, we have just received a shipment of Caldecott Medal books. The Caldecott Medal is awarded to the artist (not necessarily the author) of the most distinguished American picture book for children published in a particular year. The Caldecott Medal and the Newberry Medal are the highest awards in children’s literature in the United States.
