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".
Always Room for One More
Always Room for One More is a picture book by Sorche Nic Leodhas with illustrations by Nonny Hogrogian. It won the Caldecott Medal for excellence in American children's literature illustration in 1966. It tells the tale of Lachie MacLachlan, a generous Scottish man. While he lives in a small hut with his wife and ten children, he always welcomes in any weary traveler who walks by on a stormy night. This story is based on an old Scottish folk song.
