I only recently met Stanley Lambchop, thanks to to my D.C. buddies who introduced us via Webcam on a Skype call. He heralded from Cleveland, Ohio, and - showing no signs of fatigue when he nimbly slid out of his envelope and unfolded -- he seemed eager to visit the national monuments. I have since learned a bit more about Flat Stanley's adventurous spirit and his role in promoting literacy and other school subjects. While I find the story of his "flattening" rather disturbing - having survived a falling bulletin board - I'm truly inspired by his determination to dust himself off (or, in his case, straighten his creases) and make the most of his 2-dimensional state.
Through his many doppelgangers, he may be the most well-traveled flat boy I know. Perhaps we'll have a chance to host Flat Stanley ourselves some day. In the meantime, I wonder where in the world he's trekking at this very moment...!
