I Love My Bike cover

I Love My Bike tells the story of a girl's first experience with 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 daughter learning to ride a bike with the help of her father. It’s also about that exhilarating feeling you get when you succeed at something for the first time as a child. 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 watercolours 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.
