However, a recent study of thecontent of these books shows that both the text and theillustrations portray female characters as subordinate to the other sex, as the onewho fails, as the caretaker of the home, as the nurturer of thefamily, and as the character seen most often in the home environmentand least ofter in business and the professions. Thus, anassumption that the Caldecott-award-winning books are not stereotyping thefemale image can be challeIged.

    . Reading in the Dark: Whiteness and Racial Representation in Caldecott Books Inclusion Terry Husband Illinois State University Alice Lee Illinois State University Abstract Teachers often choose books for their classroom libraries on the basis of an award or special recognition a particular book has received. In this vein, the Caldecott Medal is one of the most highly esteemed recognitions bestowed on children's picture books each year in the United States. Relatively few studies have examined how race is represented among main characters in Caldecott books. Using a Critical Content Analysis (CCA), we examine how race is represented among atrix Center of the and Social Equity Advancement for atrix Center main characters in 80 Caldecott books from 1938 to 2017. Findings indicate that an overwhelmingly disproportionate percentage of the he M he characters are White. In addition, the non-White main characters are portrayed in very narrow roles. Implications for teachers to consider and T when using these books are discussed. Keywords: race, privilege, white supremacy, education Privilege Conference Privilege Terry Husband is an associate professor of early childhood literacy in the School of Teaching and Learning at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.

It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue
