Answer:
Red Balloon Bookshop has been helping children, teens, and adults in the Twin Cities connect with great books and great authors for more than 30 years!
Located on historic Grand Avenue in Saint Paul, Red Balloon is an independent, woman-owned children’s bookstore with a wide selection of books, toys, and gifts for all ages, from infants to adults. The bookstore is a great place to meet other readers and book-lovers, attend weekly storytimes, hear from bestselling visiting authors and illustrators, and find the perfect gift for a kid you know (or for yourself)!
Red Balloon opened in 1984, just four doors down from its current location. By 1989, the bookstore needed more space and it’s been in the grey house with the bears out front ever since. Holly Weinkauf has owned the store since 2011, when the original owners, Carol Erdahl and Michele Cromer-Poire, retired. Named after the story by Albert Lamorisse, Red Balloon Bookshop continues to be an imaginative and exciting place for kids and kids-at-heart. Come visit us!

RED BALLOON BOOKSELLERS
Jayashree Anderson—Bookseller, Storyteller
Jaya recently joined the Red Balloon after moving to the Twin Cities from Florida. An avid reader since childhood, she has always loved books and can often be found with a book in hand, or very close by. Jaya has been working in bookstores since 2005, and enjoys hosting story-time, birthday parties, and other events. When not working at Red Balloon, she can be found painting, writing her novels, reading the latest YA fantasy, and going to concerts with her husband, Jeff. A couple of her favorite books growing up were Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine and The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Minnesotan author Patricia C. Wrede.
Barb Bassett—Buyer
Barb has called the Red Balloon her home since 1997. Before that, she worked in several bookstores in her native Fargo, ND. She can’t remember when she didn’t love books and reading, and kept D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths checked out from the school library for the whole of her 4th grade year. She particularly loves children’s books (all types), food literature, travel essays, mysteries, and anything about the Tudors, but she can safely say she has (almost) never met a book she didn’t like.
Susan Hepburn—School Accounts Coordinator
Susan has been with Red Balloon since 1992. She has a BA in Theology but her work life has been devoted to print: book publishing, two magazines, and now bookselling. Her favorite books growing up were Make Way for Ducklings, Christopher Columbus by the D’Aulaires, and the Little House Series. She loves customer contact, whether at the counter or in the process of handling school orders.
Jim Malody—Receiver, etc.
Resident troglodyte/receiver since 1989, enjoying Christmas everyday as he unboxes new ideas (i.e. books and toys) to help wee ones fight ennui. And other stuff.
Stacy Mellenbruch—Bookseller
Stacy has been a bookseller at Red Balloon since 2016. There are many great reasons to work at an indie bookshop, but one of the coolest things about her job is the chance to meet all of the amazing authors and illustrators. Her favorite genre to read is contemporary young adult fiction. When she isn't working, Stacy is reading, writing, painting, or exploring.
Kelsie Pates—Bookseller
Kelsie has been obsessed with books for as long as she can remember. After working at a bookstore in Woodbury for two years, she moved to St. Paul and now happily shares an apartment with her very own grumpy cat, Pickle. She is a student in the Twin Cities, and divides her time between selling books, reading, and school. The best parts of her job are making displays, working events, and sharing her favorite books with customers.
Julie Poling—Toy & Gift Buyer, Bookfair Coordinator
Julie has been with Red Balloon since 1989. She raised her kids on the books she loves to sell. Now that they are out of college, she has stayed among the young adult books, especially sci/fi and fantasy. If your school has a book fair with Red Balloon, Julie will pick out the books. That and buying toys for the store are her two favorite parts of her job. She leads the Not-So Young Adult Book Club. Julie is also a Certified Wine Professional.
