Frederic G. Melcher
Melcher proposed the Caldecott Medal in 1937 to honor children's picture books. Named for British illustrator Randolph Caldecott, the medal is presented annually for the "most distinguished picture book for children".
Paul Goble
In 1979, Goble received the Caldecott Medal award, presented each year for the most distinguished children's picture book, for his 1978 book "The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses". Most of his books, retellings of ancient stories, are told from the perspectives of different tribes among the Native Nations.
