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".
Margaret Hodges
Illustrator Trina Schart Hyman won the annual Caldecott Medal for the 1985 picture book "Saint George and the Dragon" written by Hodges. Two more of her well-known works are "What's for Lunch, Charley?", and "Merlin and the Making of the King".
