Bryan Johnson

Bryan Johnson is a children's author, musician, and songwriter based in Bend, OR known most notably for the For Little Trolls children's book series and his previous time in the Seattle music scene. Bryan was born in the shadow of Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin in 1982 and his family relocated to Eastern Oregon in 1991. The remainder of his childhood and adolescent years were split between the Oregon High Desert, the mountains of Central Idaho, and the shores of Lake Michigan. Born of Norwegian descent and adopted into a large Norwegian-French-German family, Bryan's influences as a children's author center mostly around a humorous take on traditional Nordic folklore and the modern family. His first book, "Nighttime for Little Trolls" was spurred on by his second son's sleep troubles, or more specifically, troubles with his second son's sleep troubles.
