About
Our Purpose
This I dummy content: Our first book takes
our main characters on a wild journey
through the lands to find The Wishing Tree.
Our friends encounter magnificent challenges
along the way and unexpectedly get help
from some really kind creatures. Stick, Big
Feet, Stretch, Twiggles, and Wags learn that
it’s great to Stick out from everyone else and
to be just who you are!
Stick People History
We started with a greeting card line called Stick People Greetings. Then we thought, let's put the stick people on clothing. That would be cool. At some point in time long ago you could find the stick people in Macy's, Footlocker, Kids R Us, and more. Now we have a book!
School Programs
We’ve had the great pleasure of delivering readings for school assemblies. The kids have a really great time and learn some valuable lessons along the way.
We ask, “How do you feel you’re different from everyone else?” The hands fly up in the air and the kids have amazing insights.
Tom Drews
Tom drew his first stick person at the age of six. He lives in San Francisco and hangs out with close friends when he can. He rides his bike through the lands and pursues a handful of creative endeavors. That's a really simple version! After graduating from UC Boulder, he spent five years counseling at-risk kids in a youth center while at the same time substitute teaching grades K-12. The inspiration for The Land of Stick book came mostly from these experiences and the lessons he learned along the way from insightful and honest kids.
