Rita Golden Gelman is the author of more than seventy children's books, including Inside Nicaragua, which was one of the ALA's Best Young Adult Books of 1988, and More Spaghetti, I Say!, a staple in every first grade classroom. As a nomad, Rita has no permanent address. Her most recent encampments have been in Mexico and New York City.
“Whenever I open an atlas . . . part of me wants to pack up and hit
the road for a year or two. But I doubt I’ll ever do it, because
I’m too practical. Rita Golden Gelman . . . didn’t let
practicalities stop her.” —Los Angeles Times
“Tales of a Female Nomad follows Gelman from fragility to
self-confidence as she traverses the globe.” —Chicago Tribune
“An exuberant homage to wanderlust.” —Kirkus Reviews
"This is a courageous, gentle, fascinating book, but be forewarned
it's no idle armchair read. Like all of the best travel writing,
Rita Golden Gelman's wanderings are likely to provoke powerful
self-examination, which could easily catalyze your own wanderlust
and curiosity."
—Alexander F. Lobrano, European correspondent, Gourmet, and author
of Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Paris
"Rita Gelman takes us on a journey filled with cultural
interactions and human observations. An inspirational story,
particularly for anyone considering a major lifestyle
change."
-- Melinda Blanchard, co-author of A Trip to the Beach
