Little Michael on a Bicycle
Dear Reader,
When I was a little boy, I had a small red bicycle.
It wasn't the fastest bike in the world. It squeaked when I rode it, the seat was a bit too high, and the bell made a funny sound that was more of a "clink" than a "ding."
But to me, that bicycle was magic.
It could take me anywhere - down the lane where the trees whispered secrets, through puddles that reflected the sky, and sometimes, when I pedaled fast enough, I felt like I could almost fly.
Years later, I realized that what truly made that bicycle special wasn't its wheels or its color - it was the freedom it gave me to explore, to fall, to learn, and to grow. Every scratch on my knees told a Story. Every ride taught me something new - not just about balance, but about life.
And that's how Little Michael was born.
Michael is a dreamer. A curious boy with a big heart and a small bicycle.
Every time he sets out for a ride, something beautiful happens - he learns a lesson about kindness, courage, honesty, patience, or love.
Sometimes his adventures are real; sometimes they're magical. But in every Story, there's a gentle truth waiting to be discovered - the kind that stays with you long after you've closed the book.
This book isn't just for children - it's for anyone who's ever fallen, gotten up, and tried again.
It's for parents who teach their kids to pedal forward, and for all of us who still believe that the simplest journeys can hold the deepest wisdom.
When you read these stories - whether at bedtime, in a classroom, or during a quiet afternoon - I hope you'll smile, maybe laugh, and perhaps remember your own first ride.
Because inside every grown-up is still that child on a bicycle - learning, wondering, and chasing the wind.
So, dear reader, take a deep breath.
Hop on.
The road ahead is full of sunshine, puddles, and tiny miracles.
Let's ride together with Little Michael - and see where curiosity takes us.
With warmth and wonder,
Peter Parker
