Six Weeks Until Caldecott, Newbery, and Printz Awards Announcements


The Caldecott, Newbery, and Printz medals

In six weeks, the 2013 Caldecott, Newbery, and Printz awards will be announced.

The Caldecott medal is awarded to an illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children by the Association for Library Services for Children.

The Newbery medal is awarded to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

The Printz award honors the best books written for teens each year based on literary merit. For more information about each award, click on the links above.
