The Girl and the Bicycle
Nominated by: Holly
Finalist blurb: A girl has a dream - to own the brand-new, bright green bicycle she sees in the store window. It's the sort of desire everyone can relate to, and rarely is it told as elegantly as in Mark Pett's The Girl and the Bicycle. When the girl gets down to the business of making her dream a reality, she discovers it ain't easy. Told with honesty and heart (and nary a single line of text), it's storytelling at its most pure, with a conclusion that will make everyone smile.
