The Caldecott Medal

The Caldecott Medal is a prestigious award given each year for the most distinguished American picture book for children. It is awarded to the book’s illustrator by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). The award is named for Randolph Caldecott, a British artist and illustrator who greatly influenced childrens’ book illustrations in the nineteenth century.

The 2025 Caldecott Medal winner, Cooch Helped, is a part of our Birthday Book program and can be purchased from our Amazon wishlist and dedicated to your favorite TKCS student.

When you’re reading picture books, DON’T FORGET proper book care. Watch this fun reminder about taking care of your library books!
