Where It All Began

Aleisha Kelly is a proud Black children’s book author, youth literacy advocate, and founder of 3 Kool Kings — a purpose-driven brand based in Mableton, Georgia.
Frustrated by the lack of children’s books that reflected her sons’ experiences and identities, Aleisha set out to create what was missing: stories that celebrate diversity, build confidence, and spark imagination in every child.
What started as one mom’s mission has grown into a full movement — offering books, flashcards, mobile bookstore events, and literacy resources that uplift and empower children from all backgrounds, especially those often underrepresented in traditional publishing.
At 3 Kool Kings, we’re not just selling products. We’re helping shape futures. One book. One child. One community at a time.
