Elena wants to ride her bike. She steadies, she readies. She wobbles, she bobbles...KA-BANG! Learning to ride a bike is hard. But Elena can do it. She just has to try, try again. W ith this reassuring story of childlike persistence, Juana Medina, creator of the acclaimed Juana & Lucas series, introduces Elena, a plucky elephant, and the little red bird who is Elena’s faithful cheerleader. Simple, energetic text and bold, brilliant artwork convey a relatable tale of the ups and downs of learning something new (not without protest or tears) and the final thrill of mastery that will have children rooting for Elena and ready for her next adventure.
