Congratulations to Jon Klassen, winner of the 2013 Caldecott Medal for his book This Is Not My Hat, and congratulations as well to Katherine Applegate for her Newbery Medal win on The One and Only Ivan.

The American Library Association (ALA) presents these awards annually to outstanding American picture books and literature for children. Interested in reading these winners?
