The Christmas Bike

By Richard Paul Angelini

A compelling story of childhood remembered; of learning, and giving, and openly receiving gifts given freely out of love. Told by a father who as a boy in 1959 witnessed a small miracle. Benny the bike man is a scarred and damaged war veteran who rebuilds bikes from thrown out parts. In his eyes he transforms junk into beautiful gifts and happily gives them away at Christmas. A humble and broken man, it takes a tragedy for townspeople to see Benny for who he really was: a hero, a soul who gave more than he had. "Sometimes Ricky, lots of good little things can turn into a good big thing and sometimes a good big thing can change things and that means everything." Mister George, The Christmas Bike
