Angela Johnson (writer)
Angela Johnson (born June 18, 1961) is an American poet and writer of children's books, with over 40 books to her credit since beginning her writing career in 1989. Her children's picture books are simple yet poetic stories about African-American families, friendships, and common childhood experiences such as moving. Her books for older children revolve around similar themes but also explore deeper issues such as teen pregnancy and divorce. In all, the characters are realistic and the treatment sensitive, positive, and hopeful. Many of Johnson's books have Alabama connections and several treat Alabama history, as do her picture books ''A Sweet Smell of Roses'' about the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1965 and ''Wind Flyers'' about the Tuskegee Airmen, as well as her collection of lyrical poems ''The Other Side: Shorter Poems'', which evoke Shorter, Alabama.
==Biography==
Johnson was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, and grew up in Windham, Ohio with her brother and parents. Like many successful people, she can recall one special teacher who read to her, thus sparking a love of books that would blossom into a love of writing. She wrote throughout her childhood. Although she attended Kent State University, she left before earning her degree to focus on her writing. During this time, she worked as a nanny and was employed by author Cynthia Rylant, who reviewed Johnson's work and forwarded it to her own publisher. Johnson credits this connection with giving her the "break" that launched her career. She expects to be a writer until she dies.〔(WOSU Presents Ohioana Authors | Angela Johnson )〕
