A little girl sees a shiny new bicycle in the shop window. She hurries home to s
ee if she has enough money in her piggy bank, but when she comes up short, she k
nocks on the doors of her neighbours, hoping to do their yard work. They all tur
n her away except for a kindly old woman.
The woman and the girl work through
the seasons, side by side. They form a tender friendship. When the weather warm
s, the girl finally has enough money for the bicycle.
She runs back to the st
ore, but the bicycle is gone! What happens next shows the reward of hard work an
d the true meaning of generosity. Wordless, timeless, and classic, The Girl and
the Bicycle carries a message of selflessness and sweet surprises and makes an i
deal gift for graduations and other special occasions.
