Learning to ride a bike is no easy feat, so it helps when your encouraging dad is along for the inaugural ride.

This warm story of father-daughter bonding celebrates a bike-riding milestone and the feeling of freedom that comes from an afternoon spent outside on wheels. The story is lyrical and upbeat, with a whiff of nostalgia.

From Elizabeth's list on bikes and biking for kids.

The book itself is so simple, pure, and universal - it’s about the joy of a little girl learning how to ride a bike with her father’s help. Valerie Bolling masterfully uses spare text to communicate such emotion and excitement around this independent pursuit, while Kaylani Juanita’s illustrations are a contemporary, visual delight. Besides, who wouldn’t be inspired to ride their bike with such a spectacular view of the Golden Gate bridge?

From Alliah's list on to celebrate Black summertime joy.
