Book Description
If she pretended that everything was fine, she wouldn't have to explain to anyone how badly she wanted a bike, how unfair it was that another summer had arrived and she was still on the sidelines. Nine-year-old Savannah Tate has just finished the fourth grade. She wants to ride a bicycle more than anything else, but she can't because of a physical handicap. Savannah walks with a crutch, but that isn't as big a problem as convincing her parents that she needs a bike. Maddie and Lucy, Savannah's two best friends, have lived in the same neighborhood since they started school. Whenever the girls want to have some privacy, they head to their favorite spot, an empty lot with a large oak tree. While she works out the details of getting her bike, Savannah and her friends learn that the beloved tree that has always been their haven is in danger of being torn down. The abandoned lot is being sold, and the prospective owner plans to build a new apartment complex. Savannah's spirit of determination helps her discover a long-lost secret about the land the tree sits on and its rightful owner-but will she find a way to save the tree?

‘When you’re hurting and coughing on a steep incline, it’s hard to see or even think of the top, but you just gotta push a pedal at a time and keep pushing.’ At Auckland Airport, three young Kiwis began an audacious — some would say crazy — journey, huddled together and wiping tears from their eyes. Fourteen months later, they had cycled 23,000 kilometres, from Bali to Buckingham Palace, across more than 20 countries and adventured through some of the most exotic parts of the world. They battled extreme heat, sub-zero temperatures, culture shock and loneliness as they pushed their bodies to their limits. They overcame injury, illness, heartbreak, and, above all, their own fears and self-doubt. It was the time of their lives. Packed with stunning photography by Sean Wakely, The Big Bike Trip is an inspirational account of self-discovery, friendship and turning your dreams into reality.

Book Description
In this off-beat book perfect for reading aloud, a Caldecott Honor winner shares the story of a duck who rides a bike with hilarious results. One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. “I bet I could ride a bike,” he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on, and began to ride. At first, he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. “Hello, Cow!” said Duck. “Moo,” said Cow. But what she thought was, “A duck on a bike? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen!” And so, Duck rides past Sheep, Horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck! Praise for Duck on a Bike “Shannon serves up a sunny blend of humor and action in this delightful tale of a Duck who spies a red bicycle one day and gets “a wild idea” . . . Add to all this the abundant opportunity for youngsters to chime in with barnyard responses (“M-o-o-o”; “Cluck! Cluck!”), and the result is one swell read-aloud, packed with freewheeling fun.” —Publishers Weekly “Grab your funny bone—Shannon . . . rides again! . . . A “quackerjack” of a terrific escapade.” —Kirkus Reviews
