My name is Stacy Wells, and I write books for kids and teens.

Stories are woven throughout our life; they become the texture of who we are. I find myself drawn to stories within the fabric of childhood—the simple joys, the discovery of self and world, the unending curiosity.

 As a writer, I marvel at the beauty in small everyday moments that bump against the struggles of growing up. I desire to share stories full of wonder, humor, and joy with the hope that each reader can find themselves in the narrative and then knit the path to their own story.

We Choctaws have an unofficial saying, “They will know we are Choctaws by our heart.”

My writing honors myself, my ancestors, and those I love. May you know my heart through the stories I share.

Chi pisa la chike (I (hope) to see you later)!
