The author
Meet Stacey Loomis
Stacey Loomis is the author of the Shelly's Adventures series, heartwarming children's books that celebrate courage, kindness, friendship, and perseverance.
Inspired by her own rehabilitation journey after a life-changing motorcycle accident, Stacey began writing stories that encourage children to believe in themselves and celebrate every small victory.
The message at the heart of Shelly's Journey to the Sea was inspired by an incredible physical therapist who often reminded her that “slow progress is still progress.” Those simple words became the foundation of Shelly's first adventure and continue to inspire the stories Stacey writes today.
When she's not writing, Stacey enjoys spending time on the water, traveling, and exploring new places, but Florida's beautiful beaches will always feel like home. She treasures creating memories with friends and family, whose love and encouragement inspire every adventure she writes.
- Florida's beaches will always feel like home
- Happiest out on the water
- Inspired by friends, family, and the power of encouragement
