![]() Future releases will include US History, People Of STEM, On Kindness, Hispanic/Latino, Music, Comedy, People of the 1940s-60s, and Heroes and Military. Their company, now based in Danbury, is called Icons LLC (dba Sticker Book Publishing).Īs of March, four collections had been published: African Americans, Icons, Saints, and Women. The two met while both were attending Syracuse University. Three years after his brainstorm, Mr Plaue has been joined by longtime friend, and now business partner, Chris Beirne. A QR code within each biography can be scanned for additional information about each person. Hints about each person are also printed in a box next to where each sticker will find a home. "Many other sticker books have pages with duplicate stickers, or missing stickers, so you have to buy another sheet of stickers or the whole collection."Ĭolor coded backgrounds help readers match stickers to the appropriate biography. "One thing I updated was to make sure all books have all stickers," Mr Plaue said. The stickers come with the book and will fill all available spaces once the reader is finished matching them. Each sticker features a photo of the person that needs to be matched to their biography. Since that time, Mr Plaue has developed four different sticker books that offer readers pages with openings for four stickers. "We were living in Germany," he said, "and my kids were doing a World Cup sticker book." His children were not necessarily huge fans of the international sporting event, he said, but there was something about the books, and reading clues to match stickers and trading the books back and forth, that struck something with their father. The idea for the book, Mr Plaue told The Newtown Bee a few weeks before the July 13 event at the senior center, sprouted about four years ago, during the 2014 World Cup. They are available to the public, but he is most excited at the idea of the books being used in group settings, he said recently. Mr Plaue is the creator of a series of sticker books that are meant to educate while entertaining their users. Newtown resident David Plaue led the first of two Lunch & Learn programs last week at Newtown Senior Center that will invite members to take a trip back to their youth.
