Catching the Moon
Goldberg's…elegant text and Sheban's…enchanting illustrations in this tale of friendship between a Fisherwoman and the Man in the Moon are not to be missed…This elegant book is as captivating as moonlight shimmering on a quiet sea. Ages 4-8.

Time’s Magpie
It's nice to travel with a novelist: Goldberg's language is lush and evocative without sinking into dense or mannered descriptions....Her forays...make even those who have spent time in the city pine for a return ticket.
