Every January, the American Library Association presents an award to the “most distinguished American picture book for children” – the Caldecott Medal. And every year, we like to seek out books that meet the criteria for this award. It is a GREAT way to learn about some of the newest and best picture books for children.
On Mondays, look for posts on this blog that highlight some of the picture books we’ve discovered. We are maintaining an entire list of all the titles posted this year, click here to see it.
If you have thoughts to share about any of the books, feel free to do so in the comments field below. In addition, if you would like to suggest a title, please email.
Happy Reading!

I love the Chuck Close book – very interesting. I didn’t think of it as a “picture book” but I guess it qualifies for the Caldecott medal.
“This Is Not My Hat” doesn’t have quite the same charm that “I Want My Hat Back” did, but it is still a great book. Some follow-ups seem so forced and just fall flat, but this one is still a stand out title.
