Together We Ride by Valerie Bolling, Kaylani Juanita
5.0

Together We Ride is a sweet book about learning to ride a bike and then going on a bike ride as a family. The text is rhyming, short, and simple, which makes it impactful for young readers, and the gorgeous illustrations will captivate readers of all ages. I love the focus on the father/daughter relationship depicted in the book, although I have been reading this with my son in hopes that he’d get over his nervousness to get on a bike - and he did! We’ll be revisiting this again next year when he’s ready to take off the training wheels. This book would make a great addition to preschool libraries and a great Father’s Day gift!

Thanks to Books Forward and Chronicle Books for the gifted copy of this book.
