A Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children, whereas an Honor Book is a runner-up that stood out in the selection process but did not win the top prize. The Newbery Medal is generally considered the highest award for children's literature in the United States.
It is a committee appointed by the American Library Association. There are teachers and librarians that take a lot of time reading a lot of books to select the award!
Five of Laura's books won the Newberry Honor Award (On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie and These Happy Golden Years).

The winner in 1978 was Bridge to Terabithia. It was written by Katherine Paterson.
