She was born in the moonstar's shadow when the storms of Satlik raged their worst. Because of this, Jobe was different. The family never spoke of it, but everyone knew Jobe was special. So Jobe came to know of it, too. She had a destiny beyond that of Choice, beyond that moment when she would finally have to decide for Reethe, Mother of the World, or for Dakka, Father, Son, and Lover. For the others it was easy, but not for her, not for Jobe. So she was sent to Option, the island of learning, to make her choice and become who she must be. And slowly, ever so slowly, Jobe retreated from the world, from the time of decision. Then the ultimate cataclysm wracked the planet, threatening all her people had struggled to create, and Jobe came forth at last to fulfill her destiny and begin the quest that the moonstar had set for her so many years ago… Nebula award nominee for best novel of the year (1977). Originally published as Moonstar Oddessy.

ADVENTURES of MOONSTAR, THE ALASKAN VEGETARIAN CAT - CAMPING (c) Moonstar, the cat, and his best human friend, Samantha Sebree, are two eight-year-olds. School is out for the short, Alaskan summer. Moonstar dreams of valiant deeds, like rescuing kittens, as they stretch out in their hammocks. He never dreamed of going "camping", let alone, being abandoned by his family. The six-hour drive from Anchorage, Alaska takes them to Lake Dena, near Mount Denali. Star is given his first, outside bath, after getting car sick. He is put in a wiggling, noisy, green enclosure with Samantha for the most sleepless night of his life. When Moonstar goes to forage for food several days later, on his own. While attempting to take down a moose calf, he gets thrown off, gets lost in the woods, and left behind by his best friend. Star is knocked out by, Lord of the Lake Barthomew, a beaver, who drags him under the lake into his lodge. He is threatened to become eagle food if he harms any, non-carnivorous critter that flies, scampers, or walks on two, or four legs. He is offered a chance to become a friend to those he only thought to harm before. Learning the beauty, the challenges, and the dangers of the woods will either lead him to be rescued, be starved, be eaten by carnivores, or be a "Moon-Pie" for eagles. There are moral lessons to be learned, or remembered, for kids of all ages.

The only children’s book by the author of Slaughterhouse-Five “spins the Nativity tale in a cerebral, humanist direction” (The New York Times Book Review). Sun Moon Star is the story of the birth of Jesus—as told by Kurt Vonnegut. This children’s book takes the newborn Jesus’ perspective, offering beautiful and insightful descriptions of the world from someone newly born into it. In this book, we follow Jesus and meet the people most important to his life—presented in new and surprising ways. A powerful departure from Vonnegut’s more adult work, Sun Moon Star gives readers a rare glimpse of the writer’s talent in a format that’s unique and unexpected. This book’s well-crafted simplicity is sure to make it a favorite—with both children and adult readers who are Vonnegut fans. “Vonnegut tells the story of the Nativity in his own original style that’s both delightful and charming. Complete with illustrations, this is a read suitable for both children and adults alike.”—The Bookbag, UK “It’s Vonnegut’s descriptions of the sheer newness of human experience (the child’s ‘fourth dream was simply green. It had never seen/ green/ before’) that make this an intriguing and memorable perspective on the Incarnation.”—Publishers Weekly
