"During the selection meetings, the committee discusses all nominated and suggested books before beginning balloting. Each committee member votes for three books, with four points assigned to first choice, three points to second choice, and two points to third choice."

The book with the most points will become our Caldecott award. The second and third place books will become our honor selections.
