Author Leketha Marie Johnson has always been inspired to read and write since she was a very young girl. It's a passion that's never died down and eventually led her to her dream of publishing children's books. She's always loved reading about historical hero's who always pursued their goals without giving up like underground railroad leader Harriet Tubman. Looking up to these sorts of admirable figures has made her persistant in her own efforts of adding some sort of relevance to the world one day at a time.
