A warm and heartfelt story of a little boy with a bicycle-obsessed dad learning to ride a bike of his very own.
Training bikes have four wheels, a tricycle has three wheels, but what this little boy really wants is a bike with two wheels! It isn’t easy, but with practice, patience, determination and Dad’s unwavering support, the dream of achieving this milestone moment might just become a reality.
David Gibb is a songwriter, musician, theatre maker and the author of the picture book Two Wheels which is based on David’s experience of his dad teaching him to ride a bike. He has also written Too Many Bubbles, illustrated by Dan Taylor.
David makes music for children and families and he tours his albums up and down the country, playing at festivals and theatres.
David lives in Oxfordshire with his partner and son. Find him on X as @DavidGibb and on Instagram as @DavidGibbMusic.
Brizida Magro is an award-winning illustrator whose many picture books include
Two Wheels, written by David Gibb. Raised by her grandmother and sister, she spent her childhood in a small Portuguese fishing town. Growing up, they would often make things by hand as a family. Her childhood has greatly influenced her current work, which blends together the innocence of vintage children’s art, the naiveté of folk art, and frolicking adventures through mountains and deserts. She works primarily in digital media, often with an analogue touch that incorporates collage, ink, and china marker. She enjoys simplicity, whimsy, wee characters, and collecting vintage papers. Brizida holds a BFA in Illustration from Brigham Young University and an MFA in Graphic Design from Utah State University. She lives in Colorado, and you can find her on X as @BrizidaMagro and on Instagram as @sweetbeyond.
