Baliya can't wait to ride her bicycle-but learning something new can be a little scary.
Across a week filled with sunshine, rain, wind, and courage, A Bicycle for Baliya follows Baliya as she practices, wobbles, falls, gets back up, and tries again. With gentle encouragement from her family-Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa-Baliya learns that confidence doesn't come all at once. It grows one day at a time.
This warm, reassuring story celebrates perseverance, family support, and the small victories that add up to big accomplishments. With expressive illustrations and a playful calendar that marks each day of progress and reinforces knowledge of the days of the week, A Bicycle for Baliya reminds young readers that it's okay to feel nervous, it's okay to stumble, and it's wonderful to keep going.
Perfect for children who are learning new skills-and for the grown-ups cheering them on.
From The author of the Adventures of Georgie The Cavapoo series.
