Elma Schemenauer was born near the prairie village of Elbow, Saskatchewan, Canada. "As I grew up," she says, "I sank deep roots into prairie life and the traditions of my extended Mennonite family." After teaching for several years, Elma fulfilled a lifelong dream by moving into a publishing career in Toronto. She's the author of many books including the YESTERSTORIES SERIES, RUSSIA, JACOB SIEMENS FAMILY SINCE 1685, OTTAWA, and HELLO WINNIPEG. In 2006 she and her husband relocated to Kamloops, British Columbia. There she writes, blogs, and takes walks on grassy hillsides that remind her of her prairie roots.
