Who is Flat Ben?
Flat Ben started as a small project for a small boy. He is a combination of the
story book character &
international literacy project promoter, Flat Stanley, with my oldest nephew, Ben.
When I moved from Iowa to
South Korea in 2005, Ben's aunt told me about the Flat Stanley books and asked if I would take photos with "Flat Ben" on my travels. The original idea was to put the photos together and give them to Ben on his birthday the following year. Only we didn't return the following year...we're still exploring.
So now its 2009 and I've finally put together a place to show all my nieces & nephews (not just Ben) where Flat Ben & I have traveled.
Enjoy,
