The Newbery Medal is a prestigious award given to an American author who exhibits the most exceptional contribution to children's literature for a given year. This award has been given out since 1922 by the Association for Library Service to Children, a quite reputable association. The Caldecott Medal is given to an American illustrator who exhibits the most distinguished picture books for children in a given year. The award was created in 1938 also by the Association for Library Service to Children.
Both awards are recognized world-wide as having esteem and their gold and silver seals are revered as emblems of fame and honor. To be identified as the most prestigious American children's book award for either writing or illustrating would be quite an privilege. As a librarian, these titles are likely to be wonderful models and additions to a collection, as they have been scoured, picked apart and prodded for their literary components or artful composition. The difference between the two is the means by which people are evaluated (whether it be for illustration or writing), however both are given the highest consideration from the public.
