Certificate of Recognition
I’m very excited. This Thursday the Ambassador to Argentina will be visiting some elementary schools in Buenos Aires to read the new Spanish edition of my children’s book. The kids will be receiving their own copy of the book and the certificate of recognition pictured above.
The making of the book
Here is my new book on the floor of the print shop waiting to be bound. It’s the Spanish edition of the kid’s book, “Falling Uphill: The Secret of Life.” I needed to hover over the guys at the print shop because it just wasn’t getting done on schedule. Aah! And the books need to be on an airplane to Argentina the next day!
My most popular story in the Americas
My most popular article about my bicycle ride around the world. It appeared in almost every country from Argentina all the way up to Canada. Quite probably millions of people saw this story.
Embajada auspicia visita del escritor Scott Stoll a la Argentina
The original press release for Scott’s visit to Argentina as the Cultural Ambassador. “Embassy sponsors visit of writer Scott Stoll to Argentina.”
Cultural Ambassador
While traveling during a time of war, I always thought of myself as the bicycling ambassador, and now I’ve been honored by the United States Department of State to be the Cultural Ambassador to Argentina for the 2011-2012 school year.
Can I help you?
The story that led to being a Cultural Ambassador. Dennis and Scott get stuck in the mud in the Gran Chaco Desert and are rescued by an Argentinian family.
School book signing
The ice cream social and book signing celebration for “Ruby the Red Worm” drew over a 1000 people. It was one of the most overwhelming, amazing and fulfilling moments of my life to see the dreams of so many students coming to life.
Cover Design Challenges
The new book, Ruby the Red Worm, is finally here! Perhaps no one is more surprised how beautiful it is then me, especially the cover!
An elephant-sized lesson in recycling
This is a great, life-sized example of just how much stuff we consume. Now multiple this by every school in the country. Wow! That would be about 137,000 plastic elephants.
We ❤ Worms
School playground photo of “We ❤ worms”. I’m very surprised this picture turned out so great! Another one of my personal favorites. And a giant framed photo will soon be hanging in the school office until the end of times.
Collateral worm book projects
While I was producing the final book, the students continued exploring some related projects. Pictured here is Mrs. Lambert’s class examining some red worms up close.
Retouching the illustrations
After sorting through my foot-tall stack of drawings, I begin selecting and editing my favorites.
