"It was a pleasure having Gregory Allen come to my school and help us kickoff Autism Awareness Month at a school assembly. He spoke to the students about the importance of valuing our differences, his personal experience with autism, and his wonderful book Chicken Boy: The Amazing Adventures of a Super Hero with Autism. The students and staff enjoyed this visit very much. Gregory Allen's message in his book is something that is important for both children and adults to practice on a day to day basis. Thank you, Greg, for taking the time in helping us here at Memorial Middle School make a difference for those with autism."

"As the director of The Learning Tree, I am always looking for ways to show the children to love each other and embrace who they are and who others are. You showed the children this in your book and kind words. Thank you so much for visiting with us. The children are still talking about you. My son came home last night and wanted his bedtime story to be Chicken Boy. You were wonderful with the children.
