ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Stacey

Stacey Tarrant is a brand strategist, storyteller, and lifelong dog lover—the kind of person who’ll cross the street just to meet a stranger’s pup (and probably learn its name before yours).

With a background in marketing and a heart wired for compassion, Stacey has spent her career helping people and animals feel seen, valued, and connected. She’s passionate about turning purpose into impact—especially when it means amplifying stories that matter.

In August 2024, while walking along a beach in Negril, Jamaica, Stacey spotted a tiny, spotted puppy who wandered out of nowhere… and flopped right at her feet.

Covered in sand and clearly starving, the little pup looked up at her—and something in Stacey clicked. She couldn’t just walk away. So she didn’t.
That puppy was Marley.

Her rescue became a mission…

That mission became a movement…

And that moment?

The spark for Marley’s Incredible Journey.

This is Stacey’s first children’s book—a heart-full tribute to kindness, community, and the magic that happens when we lead with love. 

She believes that even the smallest act of compassion can create waves of change—and through every page, she hopes readers (young and grown) feel inspired to make a difference, just like the village that showed up for Marley did.
