Book Descriptions
for A Writer by M.B. Goffstein
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
In her marvelously restrained style, Goffstein describes how a writer works, connecting her metaphorically to a gardener, "never sure/of her ground/or of which seeds/are rooting there." Tiny, delicate watercolor paintings sustain the reflective mood of the text in a 7½" x 6¼" volume. (Age 9 and older)
