Laura Ingalls Wilder Award 2016
Administered by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award was first given to its namesake in 1954. The award, a bronze medal, 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 award is presented every two years.
The 2016 winner is Jerry Pinkney, whose award-winning works include THE LION AND THE MOUSE, recipient of the Caldecott Award in 2010. In addition, Pinkney has received five Caldecott Honor Awards, five Coretta Scott King Illustrator Awards and four Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honors.
