A new neighborhood can feel anything but comforting and cozy. For one young newcomer, hers seems a pretty scary place—roads pile up, streets tangle, buildings are tall and filled with strangers. But in a peaceful hidden spot just down her block and around the corner, she discovers an unexpected companion: a broken-down bicycle she names Rose. As Rose is fixed up from handlebars to hubs, her beloved bike becomes a vehicle for exploration, fun, and, eventually, new friendship. In this encouraging story about facing challenge and embracing change, acclaimed picture book creator Jonathan Bean portrays the uncertainty of moving to a new home giving way to the possibility of adventure.
