The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to a distinguished "picture book" in honor of the 19th century illustrator. Like the US Newbery Medal, it is awarded by the ALSC, the Asssociation for Library Service to Children, part of the American Library Association. The Caldecott Medal was first awarded in 1938.

The Newbery Medal and the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award also focus on children's literature, though not specifically their illustrations.

In the UK, the Guardian Children's Fiction Prizeand the Kate Greenaway Medal similarly honor excellence in children's literature. From 1985 to 2007, the Nestle Smarties Award was likewise an honor in the field.

Picture books can earn the Caldecott Award given by librarians. Childrens books can earn a Newbery Award from librarians. Coretta Scott King started an award for Children's Books featuring African American characters.
