"It's good to have a Goffstein," said the New York Times Book Review. Here's something even better—twenty-six of M. B. Goffstein's best-known, and best-loved, books for children and adults.

Groundbreaking when first published, and perhaps more resonant today than ever, Goffstein's work champions the value of simplicity, nature, self-reliance, spiritual connections, and living a creative life. With humor and insight, Goffstein enlarges our world from seemingly small details. With lyrical artist biographies, poetic gems, stories of family and making one's way in the world, Words Alone is also a celebration of a singular writer and artist.
