Just WOW. How do you even put an experience like that into words? It is an absolute shame Stan has not visited every school in America. Every student deserves to feel as loved, empowered, and cared for as Stan makes students  feel. He teaches character and kindness in a way that students hear and understand. This is not just an author Visit, it is a wake up call to be your best self, show respect, offer kindness, and reach for your dreams. There are so many author visits students forget about days, even minutes after they leave. Students spent 1 day with Stan and they still talk about him more than a year later, begging me to bring him back, which we absolutely are. Thank you Stan for the work you do, the lives you change, and the students you empower daily. What a wonderful world it would be if more people told and heard your message.

I wholeheartedly endorse Stan the Man as a visiting author for any school library. His genuine connection with our students and school community to share his message of kindness continues to benefit our students, well beyond the day that he spent with us!

In addition to his impressive credentials, Stan has a unique talent for connecting with young minds and hearts. His engaging approach to our assemblies, classroom visits and book fair visit fostered curiosity and encouraged active participation for our students. Stan’s presence at our school not only enhanced students' understanding of kindness and empathy, but also motivated them to explore writing their own story and pursuing a journey as a published author. He has also provided rich resources to support our students in the library and classrooms.

Stan left a positive and lasting impression on both students, faculty and parents alike. His commitment to literacy and enthusiasm for sharing his story align perfectly with our school's mission to cultivate a love for learning and kindness. We can’t wait to have him back on campus with us!

His ability to connect with our diverse learners was nothing short of remarkable.

Stan's visit to our elementary school was an absolute highlight! From the moment he stepped into the building, his vibrant personality lit up the entire building. The students were eagerly waiting to meet him, and his enthusiasm was contagious. What truly impressed me was his ability to connect with each child on a personal level. He spent countless hours listening attentively to their stories and dreams.
