Janet’s daughter Ellie is working on a fun project at school, and I was honored to be asked to help. Flat Stanley is a character in a series of children’s books, and the assignment was to send a flat version of themselves on a journey to a faraway place. Ellie wanted to send her flat self somewhere really far away, so she sent Flat Ellie to visit me! One day, we went ice skating at Rockefeller Center, went to see a show at Radio City Music Hall, and visited the Empire State Building. Another day, we took a boat out to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. Here are the photos of Flat Ellie’s adventures out and about in the Big Apple.

Flat Ellie really enjoyed NYC, and I’m hoping she will convince real Ellie and her family to come visit me soon!
