It's possible there's a typo or a misspelling. Do you mean:
* Shirley Glubok: This is the correct spelling of the author's name. She was known for writing children's books, particularly on historical and scientific topics.
* A different author: If you are thinking of a different author, please provide more details about the books you're looking for.
Please clarify so I can help you find the information you're looking for.
