From the publishers of "One Hen" and "If the World Were a Village" comes the cross-national story of a U.S. child's bike that makes it way across the world to others who need it in an ongoing circle of giving for good. Block print-style illustrations transcend any one culture, adding to the feeling of connectivity. Recommended.
Beautiful picture book that tells the story of one red bicycle and the impact it has on multiple lives.
Children's librarians this would be a great book to share with children and families at a picture book discussion program. Would also be good to use during "story time" for teens or adult with special needs.

This touching non-fiction story shows how one bike changes the lives of three different children. For one boy, he learns to save his money to meet a goal and how to help others in need. For two girls the bike helps them help themselves and others improve their lives. The illustrations are charming and certainly add to the quality of the story. This book would be a great support for lesson plans on saving, sharing, recycling, and/or helping others.
A great story and a wonderful way for kids to learn how to get involved. I love the books Citizen Kid puts out. ALL the titles are wonderful.
This is a gorgeous book and shows how when we may no longer need something, instead of simply getting rid of it, it can be one of the most useful things to somebody else. When a boy has grown to big for his favourite red bicycle and doesn't have any friends to give it to, a friendly lady has the perfect solution. He donates his bicycle to a country which is in desperate need for objects such as bicycles and helps to change the life of a young girl.
It's a lovely heartwarming story which I can't wait to share with others. It has some absolutely beautiful illustrations which are colourful and vibrant so will definitely draw younger readers into the book! The message the book sends about how something which no longer be useful to yourself but can be to someone else is brilliant. At the end of the book there are also some useful tips/advice for parents and teachers as well as a list of charities which work to help send objects such as bicycles to countries who need them. A brilliant resource and one I hope to use in school.
