The National Book Award was founded on March 15, 1950. This award was sponsored by publishing groups in America that wanted to increase reading nation wide. The award is given to American author. The National Book Award recognizes four genres: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Young People's Literature, with an emphasis on culture appreciation. For the wiki, we are focusing on the young people's genre. The National book award is given by American writers for American writers.

What these four books have in common is with American culture. _Where the Buffalos Began_ takes the reader(s) back to the time when Indians were the only ones who occupied the North American land. _Miss Rumphius,_ as well as <em>When I was Young in the Mountains, </em>are accounts of the author's childhoods growing up in America.<em> On Market Street</em> is an alphabet book to help teach young readers.
