About the author

Bob Marley (1945–1981) was one of the most beloved and bestselling musicians of his time. Born in the village of Nine Mile, Jamaica, Marley left school at fourteen to pursue music fulltime. A dedicated member of the Rastafari movement, Marley is credited with bringing reggae and Jamaican music to a world stage. Over the course of his career, he released more than a dozen albums with his band Bob Marley and the Wailers. The posthumous release of Legend (1984) went platinum in the United States and sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. Marley died from cancer in 1981.

Cedella Marley—singer, dancer, fashion designer, actress, and entrepreneur—is the daughter of reggae singers Bob and Rita Marley and the mother of Skip Marley. She was born in 1967 in Kingston Bridge, Jamaica, and served as the vocalist for the Grammy Award–winning Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers until the band disbanded in 2002. She is now the CEO of her father’s recording label, Tuff Gong International, and her bohemian-chic clothing collection, Catch A Fire; and the author of several successful children’s books. She also oversees her family’s charitable and merchandising organizations, always aspiring to spread love and joy and bring hearts together through music and more.
