THE NEW BICYCLE
Gold Medal Winner of the 2022 Key Colors Competition, a biennial contest for illustrators of children’s books.
Mari lives in a very normal house in a very normal neighborhood, then one day she gets a new bicycle. Mari sets off to see where her new bicycle will take her and her trip down the block becomes a fantastic adventure. She discovers new possibilities on her journey, helping others, paving her own way, and making friends.
This imaginative little road movie is layered with meaning.
