Girl on a Motorcycle by Amy Novesky
5.0
This is the best, most striking story ever written for little girls. It contains amazing life lessons - a world full of adventure to explore, a journey of a lifetime full of exploration, motorcycle action, the thrill and the excitement of traveling alone, discovering both self and the world.
Girl on a Motorcycle is an amazingly illustrated story of a girl who wish to become a writer while also traveling around the world on a motorcycle. It is inspired by the real-life story of Anne-France Dautheville, who was the first woman to travel around the world on a motorcycle. The story opens up with an incredible view from Paris, the girl sitting on the window sill with the view of Eiffel Tower, a cat sitting by her side and the poster of a Kawasaki enduro bike on the wall. I got hypnotized by the gorgeous illustration as I consider myself, too as a cat-lover biker woman with a wanderlust. Girls should definitely read this while growing up, expanding their world, horizons and imagination. The vocabulary section included in this little book is absolutely adorable. The girl takes on a journey on her own, a whole world ahead and she will explore it on a motorcycle with an infinite freedom, learning on the way how to fix a bike, how to light a fire, how to set up camp and how to get used to stares.
“She takes bandages and tapes when she falls, and she will.” Such plain words tell so much!
Very-well done. Definitely recommended.
J’ai envie que le monde soit beau, et il est beau.
J’ai envie que les gens soient bons, et ils sont bons.
