Flat Is The New Thick: Flat Stanley Visits the Quirk HQ
Recently the Quirk compound was visited by beloved children's book character Flat Stanley.

Since then, kids in over 6.000 schools–including my nephew Sam–have participated in the Flat Stanley Project by creating their own Flat Stanleys and mailing them all over the place.
The Stanleys are mailed back with photos and information about where they've been. So here are some of the pictures from Stanley's visit to Quirk. (Spoiler alert–Sam got an A.)
