About The Company
Founded in 2013, Mohalland Lewis, LLC has been committed to promoting literacy through creativity, collaboration and community.
The creative and adventurous Silly Nomads book series, written by co-authors Marcus Mohalland and Jan Lewis, has provided young readers with the opportunity to explore a new world and culture through the eyes of two brothers growing up on the island of Jamaica. Today, the books are found throughout schools across the United States as well as in other countries such as Jamaica, Canada and Saudi Arabia.
But that’s not enough…
Because of the commitment to promoting literacy amongst young readers, especially in underprivileged communities, Founder & Owner, Marcus Mohalland, often finds himself collaborating with nonprofit organizations, community centers, public libraries, and other organizations and foundations who share his passion and commitment. From speaking engagements in classrooms to dramatic book readings at local library, from partnering with underprivileged schools to fundraise for books to motivational speaking for young audiences, Marcus remains committed to his community.
“By collaborating with others in the community to promote literacy amongst young readers, I know I can truly make a difference in the long-term success of children.”
– Marcus Mohalland, Co-founder
