Eric’s Big Day
Life will lead you to amazing and unexpected places – even to a Tour de France podium – if you’re open to adventure and ready to help others. That’s the message behind this cute, whimsical story illustrated with colorful images. It starts when a young boy named Eric sets off to meet his friend Emily for a picnic, but he soon finds himself caught up (and then leading!) the “big race”. The story is sweet and exciting, and sure to please younger kids who love to ride.
