My name is A-Jjahlov Powell, and I write children's books and poetry that invite young readers to slow down, breathe in the quiet moments, and find wonder in the small things—a dewdrop on a leaf, the hush before dawn, the rustle of pages turning by lamplight.
I grew up surrounded by gardens and storytellers, and those early mornings spent among blooming flowers and borrowed library books shaped the way I see the world. Writing became my way of sharing that sense of gentle discovery—of planting small seeds of imagination that might grow into a lifelong love of reading.
Today, Moonlight Reads is where I share that journey with you: new stories, quiet poems, and the winding path that brought me here. Thank you for wandering through these pages with me.
The moon gave me permission to dream beyond the edges so I let myself fall apart beautifully and bloomed in the morning as someone new. - Jah
