Meet Verl Johnson
Author, Storyteller, and Mother
"Joy is meant to be shared."
The Heart Behind the Stories
Raised in the lush hills of Jamaica, Verl Johnson’s childhood was a tapestry of hidden streams and golden sunsets. Today, she weaves that same sense of wonder into every book she creates.
While Verl has authored a wide range of beloved children's books, her true passion lies in early childhood literacy. She has dedicated her current work to the "Toddler Transition"—the vital years between ages 2 and 4 where a child's imagination and language skills first take flight.
Our Targeted Mission
At Rhoda Online Marketing, we aren't just making stories; we are building learning foundations. We realised that toddlers learn differently—through repetition, self-recognition, and vivid 3D imagery.
By narrowing our focus to Ages 2–4, we ensure that every Barnaby Bear adventure and personalized ABC book is developmentally "just right" for your little learner’s brain.
The Verl Johnson Method
- Developmental Pacing: Stories designed for toddler attention spans.
- Personalized Identity: Helping 2-4 year olds see themselves as learners.
- Legacy Excellence: Backed by a history of 1,000+ readers worldwide across all age groups.
