Wilder received the first award in 1954. The award, administered by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of ALA, was given every five years between 1960 and 1980. It is now given every other year.

The US Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) has removed Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name from one of its awards over racist views and language. The association had received complaints for years over the Little House on the Prairie author’s “anti-Native and anti-Black sentiments in her work”.

It recognizes an author or illustrator whose works have made a lasting contribution to children’s literature in the United States. It was awarded every three years, then every two years, and as of 2016, every year.

The author of the “Little House on the Prairie” series, Laura Ingalls Wilder, had her name removed from a prestigious children’s book award because of “dated cultural attitudes” contained in her books, the association that issues the award said Monday. The book includes a line: “The only good Indian is a dead Indian.”

The lawsuit claims MacBride received the rights to the six books renewed by Lane, plus five more copyrights he renewed himself as the beneficiary of Lane’s estate. MacBride left his entire estate, including the royalties to the Wilder books, to his daughter, Abigail MacBride Allen of Virginia.

Why I wrote it: I also wanted to write about how hard it is to lose someone you love—in this case, both parents—and how that pain starts shaping itself into other things sometimes like anger and isolation. Most of all, I wanted to write about three brothers who are funny, handsome, searching, and caring of one another.

Why I wrote it: I wanted to understand who my mom was before she was my mother and I wanted to understand exactly how I became a writer. So I started researching my life, asking relatives and talking to friends – and mostly, just letting myself remember.
