# I Love My Bike - Hardcover

by **Simon Mole** (Author), **Sam Usher** (Illustrator)

**_I Love My Bike_ tells the story of a girl's first experience on her bike, and is filled with beautiful illustrations and a heartwarming message of perseverance.**

_There's a flame on the frame  
and I love how it feels  
from my head to my heels  
when my feet push the pedals  
and the pedals turn the wheels.  
I love my bike._

_I Love My Bike_ is a picture book about a little girl learning to ride a bike **with the help of her father**. Dad explains how to use the pedals and tells her to keep going until she's flying! Everything is going well until she falls off and suddenly getting back on the bike seems very scary. This beautiful book is also about that exhilarating feeling you get when you succeed at something for the first time as a child. It's also a reminder of how important it is to be outside and enjoy the wonder of nature. And, most importantly, **it's about learning that when you fall off, the best thing to do is get back on again!**

The story is told through **wonderful watercolors** from critically acclaimed artist Sam Usher, with words from children's poet Simon Mole.

Celebrating both **family relationships** and **being outdoors**, this is the perfect read for families everywhere.
