The Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal is one of the many prestigious literary awards presented by the American Library Association. According to the ALA, the award goes to “writers and illustrators of children’s books honors an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”
The first Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal winner (1954) was, appropriately enough, Laura Ingalls Wilder. The award is presented in alternate years.
Past winners have included E.B. White, Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Maurice Sendak.
