This week I thought I would look at what book was the winner for the 2009 Caldecott Medal. The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It 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.

The 2009 Caldecott Medal winner is
The House in the Night
illustrated by Beth Krommes
written by Susan Marie Swanson
(Houghton Mifflin Company)
Richly detailed black-and-white scratch board illustrations expand this timeless bedtime verse, offering reassurance to young children that there is always light in the darkness. Krommes' elegant line, illuminated with touches of golden watercolor, evoke the warmth and comfort of home and family, as well as the joys of exploring the wider world.
