The Caldecott Medal is a bronze colored medal that is awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children, published in the United States during that preceding year. It is given to an artist for their outstanding illustrations in literature. It is only based on the pictures in a book. Usually is for colorful, creative artwork.
The Newbery Medal is awarded each year "to the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children published the United States during that preceding year. It is given to the author of a story that makes a superb contribution to children's literature.
Both medals are equally important and are often compared to an Emmy or Oscar. They both carry the same value, but for different contributions made to children's literature. Both awards are chosen by the Association For Library Service To Children.
One thing I learned that I did not know, was that a Caldecott/Newbery Honor is different from a Caldecott/Newbery Award. The honor is given to the runner-ups for that year.
