Review: An inspiring story. - I have become a big fan of Kids Can Press Citizen Kid series. These books usually contain an interesting, informative and often inspiring story that promotes wise/kind world citizenship. The Red Bicycle fits well within these parameters. The story follows the journey of a red bicycle as it makes it way from a city in America where it has been well-loved and used by a boy to Africa into the hands of a young girl who uses the bike to aide her families' survival. Alisetta uses the bike to travel to the fields which helps her scare off the birds which raid her families' sorghum fields which allows her to harvest more than normal. With a larger harvest the family eats better and has a means of transportation to village markets. Eventually the bike becomes an ambulance allowing medical workers to transport the injured to the nearest clinic or hospital. I loved this story because it shows the value is one small act of kindness: the boy's giving up his bike when he's outgrown it. The illustrations are beautiful and strikingly highlight the value of the bike in the lives of those who use it. I also appreciated the information and photographs at the end of the book which shows the value of bicycles in Burkina Faso, the African country where the story takes place. Suggestions for places to donate to or volunteer with are also included. I found the book inspiring and I am now looking for a place to donate my old used bicycle.
Review: What a great story for K-12 students - I am a substitute teacher and always have this book in my backpack. I have used it twice so far in two different elementary classrooms. The kids loved the story and really enjoyed the art project at the end where they were able to design their own bicycles. Two thumbs up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book is great but book came all messed up
*by R***I on October 8, 2021*

We’ve borrowed this book from the library many times and we love it. So I wanted to buy it to give as a present for my sons friend. The delivery person smashed into the mailbox and the book got damaged. There should be a warning this is paperback book for delivery people to be more careful.
