It was pretty fun seeing my old pastor and college professor holding Flat Pat. My grandmother even took her Flat Pat to several states and to her Senior Center and church with her. We have looked forward to seeing the photos that people send in the mail, e-mail, and post on Facebook.

Together they have reached 17 different states and done some pretty amazing things! We also sent out a little Flat Pat for our daughter who is 3, we are calling her Flat Stanley’s little sister. They were supposed to take pictures of Flat Stanley at a local attraction or go with them and do something that they do every day. I have sent Flat Stanley to over 20 people for our original project for our Homeschool Literature Fair. I know this really has little to do with ministry but it has been such a fun project that it has boosted our family camaraderie in so many ways. They have more books in the series but this one has been my personal favorite. They have updated the book covers through the years but the story is still relevant to children today. Stanley’s journey takes him all across the globe, to many interesting locales, filled with lots of colorful characters, which make for great casting opportunities.Who knew that reading a little book from the library would turn into such a family craze! Flat Stanley is a cute little book written by Jeff Brown back in 1964, 2 years after my mom was born. He's stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond, all in an effort to become a three-dimensional boy once more. In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley - the ultimate exchange student - scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday ten-year-old until the bulletin board on the wall above his bed comes loose and falls right on top of him. And now, everyone's favorite two-dimensional hero has a new life in The Musical Adventures Of Flat Stanley JR. Filled with infectious songs and non-stop adventure, Flat Stanley JR. is a perfect show to introduce young performers to the magic of live theatre.


The beloved children's book written by Jeff Brown is a literary and pop culture phenomenon, delighting readers all around the world.
