Stanley's Secret Summary

Stanley's Secret by John Sullivan

The award-winning author of Kitten and the Night Watchman is back with an inspiring and poignant picture book about a boy learning the self-confidence to fulfill his dream of dancing in front of his peers.

The only audience shy, quiet Stanley dances in front of is his pet mice, Squeaker and Nibbles. He also practices when he's alone in empty classrooms or the gym when he helps the janitor after school, tap dancing shuffle, tippy-tap, tippy-tap. Talent should be shared, encourages Principal Reynolds. Can Stanley find the courage to perform in the school talent show?
