What if the moments that shape our lives are the ones we almost overlook?

When middle school teacher Matt Eicheldinger had a student who wouldn’t speak at all, he decided to leave her a sticky note on her desk every day, each one with a funny cartoon or encouraging message. Years later, she returned to share she had saved every sticky note he had left her, leaving Eicheldinger to wonder what other extraordinary moments he missed from seemingly ordinary interactions and inspiring him to revisit the countless stories he had recorded throughout his teaching career

Sticky Notes presents 100 true stories drawn from years of Eicheldinger’s classroom experiences, unexpected encounters, and everyday moments that revealed extraordinary lessons about kindness, resilience, friendship, grief, and hope. Filled with humor, heart, and insight, these short, memorable vignettes remind us that small gestures often leave the greatest impact and that every person has something to teach us if we're willing to pay attention.

Readers voice

Never tired of listening to Matt’s voice. It’s my first audio experience and I’m sold! Extremely entertaining and heartwarming stories.

Such enjoyment.

I bought this book before it was released. I walk with my dogs daily and it became what I listened to. what a caring person and teacher y
Matt is. I laughed, smilwd and sometimes cried. My granddaughter who is in the 6th grade loves to listen to the bits while we drive in the car.
Thank you for sharing, caring and making a difference.

Mr. Ike's Sticky Notes Are Magic

While I skipped Mr. Ike's middle grade books, I couldn't resist his compliation for adults. As I anticipated, his notes deliver charming anecdotes from everyday life with middle school kids, and a bit of a lesson with most of his recollections.

Teachers like Mr. Ike are everywhere. They wear their superhero capes under their clothes or hide their halos in their hair. What a joy to hear from a teacher about some of the mundane, yet profound lessons his students teach him.

Inspiring

Great stories! Emotional and inspiring! You will love this book! Every kid deserves a special teacher like this great human.
