A beautiful story with a bunch of beautiful messages.

The Big Ol' Bike features the story of Oliver, a little boy from a little town. He could not be more proud of his grandfather's old bike that was handed over to him as a birthday present but the mean bullies in his school were determined to make him feel terrible about it. Although Oliver was in trouble, his loving friends and family had his back. The bullies were not ready to give up, and it was up to him to prove his worth and that of his big old bike.

The amazing book not only holds the instances of a sweet family bond and strong friendships, but also teaches the young readers to appreciate the beauty of what they have in life. It portrays the impact of unconditional support of loved ones on the inner world of a child, which is one of the best sides of the story.

The book is written in a simple yet attractive language, which makes it suitable for the targeted audience.

Recommended for children aged 8-10.
