Children's books by Scott Stoll

I’m proud of my children’s books. Over hundreds of people were involved in the creation of each one.

Feel Your Feelings

Feel Your Feelings introduces children to basic emotions with fun poems that they can act out from head to toe and then let go. They will learn that emotions are our friends. Some emotions show us what we love, others protect us from harm, and all of them put together, like colors on an artist’s palette, paint a beautiful picture of life.

Books featuring Scott's adventures

Pedal Power: Inspirational Stories from the World of Cycling

Scott has a chapter about his bicycle journeys and how his adventures fuel a desire to make the world a better place.

Synopsis: A bike can be so many different things—a simple way of navigating busy city streets or enjoying quiet lanes, a cross-country steed to take a rider up hill and down dale, or even a world-beating racing machine. What unites everyone who rides is that they each have their own cycling story to tell. This book collects inspirational stories from riders around the world, both ordinary and extraordinary, from the London cyclist who rode 10,000 km in a month, to the daredevil trials rider who hops from building to building, to classic tales of grand-tour rivalries and legendary cycling records of days gone by. Essential reading for anyone who loves life on two wheels.

By the Seat of My Pants

New Second Edition. Scott has a co-starring role in Edwin Tucker’s “Let the Buyer Beware”. This story is based on the funniest chapter in “Falling Uphill” but from Edwin’s POV.

Synopsis: Humorous tales of travel and misadventure. Lonely Planet knows that some of life’s funniest experiences happen on the road. Whether they take the form of unexpected detours, unintended adventures, unidentifiable dinners or unforgettable encounters, they can give birth to our most found travel lessons, and our most memorable – and hilarious – travel stories. These 31 globegirdling tales that run the gamut from close-encounter safaris to loss-of-face follies, hair-raising rides to culture-leaping brides, eccentric expats to mind-boggling repasts, wrong roads taken to agreements mistaken. The collection brings together some of the world’s most renowned travellers and storytellers with previously unpublished writers.

Over the years, we’ve featured many guest adventurers and some who wrote books. We think you’ll enjoy both their book (available on Amazon) and their stories here on our website.

These are the books that literally changed my life. I give them my highest recommendation.

Here are my favorite books in the travel and adventure genre. In my opinion, even the greatest literary novels can’t beat a true story by a real person! These adventurers and their tireless efforts to reach their goals never fail to inspire me. I give these books my highest recommendation.
