Two Wheels

When you’re the youngest child in a bike-loving family, two wheels are the prize in this jaunty story with special appeal for kids just learning to ride a bike.

Tricycles have three wheels and training bikes have four, but what this little boy wants most of all is a bike with two wheels! Dad has one for any occasion, and he knows just how to get his son ready. With practice, patience, and more than a little courage, the dream of a family who rides together—everyone on two wheels!—might just come true. David Gibb’s warmhearted text and Brizida Magro’s fresh, whimsical illustrations capture the magic moment when kids first tame two wobbly wheels and pedal off on their own.

David Gibb is a musician and the author of Two Many Bubbles, illustrated by Dan Taylor. Two Wheels is based on his childhood experience of being taught to ride a bike by his dad. He lives in England with his partner and son.

Brizida Magro is an artist and the illustrator of Saturday at the Food Pantry by Diane O’Neill, which was named a Chicago Public Library Best Picture Book, and Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Lee Donovan. Originally from Portugal, Brizida Magro now lives in Colorado with her partner and their cats.
