Review
A young girl learns to ride a bicycle from what appears to be her grandfather. Little by little, she learns to ride by herself. Eventually she finds success and experiences happiness and liberation by being independent and capable. Some readers will find the illustrations to be rather ‘trippy,’ with some pages featuring scattered bicycles and other objects all around while others include only the girl and her spooky-looking grandfather. Parents may find the book useful as a companion to actually teach the skill. This book is better suited for younger audiences, potentially through the age of 7. Recommended. Austin Becton, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
