I come with stories, not olives
Hi, I’m Stacey Martini.
I am a children’s book author, copywriter, and former teacher. As a world traveler and Pacific Northwest local, I have a passion for words, nature, and adventure. When I’m not busy writing, I’m out exploring with my dog, Axel, or taking care of wildlife.
My debut children’s book begins the series about a pair of pups that travel around the world and discover what makes our planet special.
Axel & Luci Adventures: Puerto Rico
The first book of the series, Axel & Luci Adventures: Puerto Rico is live and available for purchase. This book teaches not only about plastic pollution and the environment, but teamwork, empathy, problem-solving, friendship, and exploring the world with care and respect. We all share one planet and we are more connected than we think.
*Wonder where Axel and Luci are going next? Hint: They meet a friendly wallaby.
Where It All Began
While I fell in love with writing at a young age, I discovered another love later on. Teaching. I witnessed how valuable stories were to young children, so I blended my two passions. When I was teaching Pre-K, my students would ask me every day to tell them a story—not read them one from the bookshelf—but sit next to them and create one on the spot. No pressure, right? This amazing experience eventually flourished into writing kid’s books that we could use in our lessons. My dog, Axel, became the muse for many stories along with my childhood animals. Fast forward to today. The book that began in the classroom is now published and ready to sit in the hands of kids around the world.
