The āLittle Houseā books of author Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867ā1957), which relate her life experiences growing up on the American frontier, have been criticized for their depictions of Native Americans and African Americans. The controversy led the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to change the name of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award to the Childrenās Literature Legacy Award in 2018. The award was established in 1954 to honor author and illustrators whose books have made a significant contribution to childrenās literature.
