About Me:
Mennonite girl from Kansas moves to Washington, DC, and ends up dreaming of raising chickens and running a bed and breakfast in a small community--in due time. Ironically, she loves her job as assistant editor for the children's book department at The Global Fund for Children, a grantmaking non-profit in the District.

Hi Elise from a fellow Mennonite & bookstore owner!
Hi Elise,
I saw you on the site and when I saw "Goshen Indiana" and your Kansas address...Mennonite!
I am an adult convert to the Mennonite Church - in my early 20s I joined Doylestown M. Church north of Philadelphia. I've been in "exile" from areas with M. churches, but now am a member of Mt. Zion Mennonite in Boonsboro, MD, which is west of Frederick, about 90 minutes from D.C.
My husband & I moved to Shepherdstown in the early 90s and opened Four Seasons Books. Hope you can come visit sometime!
Ruth

Kim Can hi elise..I just joined and am in los Angeles. Your job sounds interesting to me as I have just formed my own publishing co. called greenflower press. Under that name I have just published a children's story called "tumbles the clown" Perhaps you might take a look at it on greenflowerpress.com... I am looking for feedback and would send you a copy if that would interest you...maybe you could tell me what some of your favorite children's books are that are out there now.... kim
