The Big Bike

Emma Every Day

by C.L. Reid, Elena Aiello (Illustrator)

Emma gets a bigger bike and can't wait to ride it, but when she falls off she's too scared to try it anymore. When her best friend, Izzie, comes over for a bike ride, Emma uses her old bike. Emma needs to practice on her new big bike and gain confidence to ride again--even if it is scary. Emma is Deaf and often uses sign language to communicate, and this early chapter book includes an ASL fingerspelling chart and a sign language guide.
