Atlas Books was founded by Dr. Johnson, a lifelong advocate for multilingual education whose personal and professional journey is rooted in the belief that language connects us all. With a doctorate in Education and multiple degrees in education, curriculum and leadership, she has served as a bilingual teacher, coordinator, and director of multilingual programs, always centering language equity and authentic representation in every classroom she leads. As a multilingual individual herself, Dr. Johnson built Atlas Books on the principle that every student deserves access to genuine, culturally rich stories that reflect their identities and broaden their worldviews. Each book is thoughtfully selected to capture the voices, traditions, and experiences of communities around the world, fostering empathy, curiosity, and global understanding. Guided by a commitment to authenticity, educational excellence, and access for all, Atlas Books curates stories that empower teachers, inspire students, and celebrate the beauty of language as both a tool for learning and a bridge between cultures.
