Ann Voskamp   has been lost all of her life. Which is a good reason to write about geography. She was a lost young teen when God graciously found her. She was lost behind long hair and glasses, wandering the library stacks, when her future husband found her.  And her children now usually find her curled up on the couch, calling them to come get lost in a good book with her.

As a high school student, she proposed that Mr. Hammond's World Geography class sponsor a child through World Vision, a sponsorship which Mr. Hammond's class then annually honoured. As her fascination with geography and God's glorious globe continues decades later, so too does Ann's support of World Vision, the whole of the royalties of A Child's Geography donated to to their work around the world. 

With a background in Education and Child Psychology from York University and the University of Waterloo, Ann's educational pursuits have focused on elementary education, her passions on the  Maker of heavens and earth. This project marries both.

She and her best-friend husband raise corn, six kids, and soybeans, as full-time farmers in Ontario, Canada. She writes most days at Holy Experience.

Tonia Peckover loves words; all her life she has been traveling and dreaming through the pages of books.  Stories of colorful locales and fascinating people fired her imagination as a young teenager and propelled her forward at a church camp altar call to tell God she'd go anywhere He sent her - even Africa.  In His wisdom, He sent her to rural Oregon instead.  That is where Ann found her, scribbling words on the internet, dreaming of taking God's love into every exotic, captivating corner of the world.   A Child's Geography brings together her passions for both and, through World Vision, allows her to invest in people all over His earth.

Tonia and her husband, Mark, live in a kooky old farmhouse on the edge of a forest where they raise ducks, enjoy the rain, and homeschool their four soccer-crazy children. She writes lots more words at study in brown.
