The New Bicycle

Gold Medal Winner of the 2022 Key Colors Competition, the biennial national contest for illustrators of children’s books.

A girl living in a very normal house in a very normal neighborhood gets a new bicycle. She starts riding it and travels to a fantasy landscape. She visits the zoo and feels bad for the elephant locked up in his cage. So, she frees him and brings him all the way to his homeland. Then she goes back home. This little road movie has a simple, strong main message as well as clear underlying messages. The art is full of imagination and refers to existing works of art. Very well done.
