Micah Johnson
Baseball player. Artist. Author.
Micah played for the Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, then traded the bat for a paintbrush. It started with a question from a young boy: “Can astronauts be Black?” Micah’s answer became Aku, a middle grade space adventure series for ages 8 to 12.
