About this book

When you’re the youngest child in a bike-loving family, two wheels are the prize in this jaunty story with special appeal for kids just learning to ride a bike.

With practice, patience, and more than a little courage, the dream of a family who rides together—everyone on two wheels!—might just come true. David Gibb’s warmhearted text and Brizida Magro’s fresh, whimsical illustrations capture the magic moment when kids first tame two wobbly wheels and pedal off on their own.
