The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. The Caldecott medal honors the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published in the United States during the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, the famous English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work was deemed to best represent the joyousness and beauty of picture books.
