Flat Stanley - the character invented by author Jeff Brown over 40 years ago - is a favorite of William's
and lots of other children around the world. Flat Stanley has his own website, in fact!
William sent Flat Stanley (his version) to Grandma and Grandpa Stanton as they were
about to leave for a trip to Uganda, a country in East Africa. The idea was to see how many adventures Stanley might have.
