"Scott came to speak and read to our students this week in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week. Our students not only learned about Dr. King, but also the values he stood for—being a kind friend, being a good citizen, and using your voice and your skills to be proud of being the only you. The visit was incredibly engaging—there was singing, dancing, and even me and our lead teachers got to play percussion on fruit shakers (yes, you read that correctly!). The children loved the Stand Out book, sang along to the song while Scott strummed the guitar with such animation, and his timing and energy were absolutely impeccable. Any preschool or school-age program should have Scott come out—if your focus is on self-esteem, helping children feel confident, and being good classroom citizens, this visit is a must-see!"

—Erica Saccoccio, Owner, Family Tree Early Learning Center

“Recently Mr. Scott came to read his book to the class, How Do You Stand Out? and it was beyond inspiring.  It actually made me look into my students and how they stand out individually and collectively.  I ended up changing one of my classroom boards to add his lessons to the classroom.  I was blown away by how many of my students were engaged with the worksheets that he left for them to write and including just drawing pictures of what they can do to stand out and how they stand out.  It was definitely an eye opening experience for me and my students.  I would love to see more books from him and more lessons to share with my class.  Thank you again Scott for coming out and we can’t wait to have you back!”

Scott delivered an inspiring and engaging presentation on the power of being your unique self. His message encouraged students to celebrate their individuality, embrace what makes them different, and treat others with kindness and respect. His presentation was age-appropriate, interactive, and uplifting—students were actively engaged and left feeling empowered and confident.

If you have an opportunity to have an author come to your school…CALL SCOTT! His presentation with the book and songs were phenomenal! He’s also GREAT with kids. I have 3-5 year olds in my class and they sat so nicely and were so engaged with Scott’s presentation.

Thank you for coming to Stephen Olney School.  The 4th graders absolutely loved your visit.  The book has such a strong message of being unique and standing out.  The children were very engaged and focused while you read to us.  Much success on your upcoming adventures.
