While growing up in a refugee camp, Joseph only wants one
thing: to ride a bike. He’s just not big enough to reach the pedals. He helps
fix bikes while waiting for his legs to grow long enough to finally ride one
day.
Joseph doesn’t fully understand why, but he and his mother move to America where life is different from the camp. One thing is the same though: Joseph’s wish to ride a bike. When Joseph sees a neighbor girl has a bike, he tries everything he can to get to ride on it. After putting his bike repair skills to good use and helping his neighbor, his chance finally comes. Joseph gets to ride a bike!
Lively, energetic illustrations pair well with the sweet story that captures a boy’s dream come true.
