About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a physical milestone like riding a bike, or when you are personally feeling the bittersweet weight of your child gaining independence. The story follows Megan as she learns to cycle, trembling with the fear that her father will let go of her seat. While Megan focuses on the immediate fear of falling, her father is quietly grappling with his own fear: that once she learns to ride, she will eventually ride right out into the world and away from him. This is a beautiful, dual-perspective narrative that validates a child's anxiety while offering a mirror for a parent's evolving role. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 7, serving as a gentle bridge between the safety of home and the excitement of the big world outside. You will choose this book because it honors the trust between parent and child, reminding both that letting go is a part of growing together.
