Learning to ride, learning to let go

A first bike ride frames a story about trust between a child and a parent: the child fears Dad may release the bike too soon, while both learn through patience and persistence. The bilingual English-and-Vietnamese picture book brings three generations into a familiar family experience, connecting the physical act of pedaling with the more complicated process of letting go. Its focus on a parent’s guidance and a child’s growing confidence gives the riding lesson a multigenerational family context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families sharing a picture book about learning to ride a bike
  • Readers interested in English-and-Vietnamese bilingual books
  • Children exploring trust and independence with a parent

Book overview

Learning to ride a bike requires a leap of faith, and as a father teaches his child to ride, the child worries that Dad will let go before they're ready. But with patience and persistence, father and child learn together that pedaling and letting go are part of the same thrilling ride. From the Caldecott Honor-winning creators of A Different Pond comes a new picture book that encompasses three generations, two languages, and one universal experience. This bilingual story in English and Vietnamese explores a child's trust, a parent's guiding hand, and the paradox of loving and letting go.
