Girl on a Motorcycle by Amy Novesky
5.0
Anne-France Dautheville rode her motorcycle around the world in 1973. She did this alone, but not without help: everywhere she went she encountered people with whom she connected and who offered her assistance in repairing her motorcycle, guiding her through difficult or interesting locations.
The story itself is highly readable, the illustrations radiating ‘70s vibes. And there is backmatter — including photographs. The only thing missing is how she paid for things, and a list of Dautheville’s own writing. Apparently she was a travel writer.
Add this to any list of books that encourage wonder and curiosity, as well as appreciation for the wide world around us, and a deep respect for the overwhelming goodness in people.
