The Caldecott Medal 2021
Caldecott Medal Books oppl.org/kids-lists The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. 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 -

Margaret Wise Brown and Bedtime Parody Sand
Lunar Perturbations – How Did We Get from Goodnight Moon to Go the F**k to Sleep?: Margaret Wise Brown and Bedtime Parody Sandy Hudock Colorado State University-Pueblo From an Audi commercial to celebrating the end of the second Bush presidency to the ghost of Mama Cass presiding over a dead Keith Moon, to the ubiquity of the iPad, Good Night Moon has been and no doubt will continue to be parodied or invoked for generations to come. Songwriters reference it, the television show The Wire gives an urban twist to its constant refrain of “good night-----“ with “good night, po-pos, good night hoppers, good night hustlers…” What makes this story so much a part of the collective consciousness, a veritable cultural meme? How did Margaret Wise Brown’s life and her influence in children's publishing result in the longstanding enchantment of Good Night Moon? Recent political and cultural parodies of the go to bed genre all ultimately hearken back to this one simple story painted in green and orange, and the intrinsic comfort it provides to children as a go to bed ritual. Born in New York in 1910 to a wealthy family, Brown was a middle child whose parents’ many moves within the Long Island area required that she change schools four times while growing up, including a stint at a Swiss boarding school. As a child, she made up stories (in her family, a polite way of saying she told lies) and then challenged her siblings to look up the answers in the multi-volume Book of Knowledge, for which she later penned two entries on writing for small children. -
