Bio

J.J. Johnson here—award-winning middle-grade author, explorer of imaginary worlds, and occasional traveler in a beat-up Dalorean. I write stories for kids (and the kid in all of us) and weekly essays about unplugging from screens, rediscovering joy, and living simply. My faith, my family, and my love for books, coffee, and the outdoors shape everything I do. If my words bring you back to stillness, connection, or wonder, then I’ve done my job.
