She and Miss Odell (a puppet) have been known to show up at talent shows and there's no predicting what Miss Odell might say: I'm 90, you know! Connie has been working as a religious educator for more than 20 years with much of this time spent also working as a reporter and journalist. She began reading stories to children in local libraries and then added puppets and original tales. About 15 years ago, Barbara Krishnan (then a director of religious education) urged her to co-author a series of stories called Candle Stories. Since then, Connie has written other collections of children's stories including Stories from Under the Wisdom Tree, Animal Stories and Momma Dee's Stories. The stories in these collections all have Unitarian Universalists values from the 7 UUA (Unitarian Universalist Association) Principles and Purposes. Connie has just published an electronic book of Spirit Play Stories, available at Nita Penfold's Spirit Play site: SpiritPlay.net. Online Article: http://tinyurl.com/tarc Erin J. DunnErin J.
