Laura Ingalls Wilder did not win the Newbery Medal. However, her book "Little House on the Prairie" was an Honorary Newbery Award recipient in 1954. It was recognized for its high literary merit, but at the time, the Newbery Medal was limited to Children's Books published in the United States.

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 reason none of her books won the Newberry Award Medal is that she had finished the books before the Newberry Award was created.
