Of Caldecott Medal Winners ... Bullfights ... and Life

THE MAN WHO WALKED BETWEEN THE TOWERS

I love the art in children's books, do you?

The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published that year. It was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. Together with the Newbery Medal it is the most prestigious American children's book prize.
