Description

A warm and heartfelt story of a little boy with a bicycle-obsessed dad learning to ride a bike of his very own. Training bikes have four wheels, a tricycle has three wheels, but what this little boy really wants is a bike with two wheels! It isn't easy, but with practice, patience, determination and Dad's unwavering support, the dream of achieving this milestone moment might just become a reality.

Raised by her grandmother and sister, she spent her childhood in a small Portuguese fishing town. Growing up, they would often make things by hand as a family. Her childhood has greatly influenced her current work, which blends together the innocence of vintage children's art, the naivete of folk art, and frolicking adventures through mountains and deserts. She works primarily in digital media, often with an analogue touch that incorporates collage, ink, and china marker. She enjoys simplicity, whimsy, wee characters, and collecting vintage papers. Brizida holds a BFA in Illustration from Brigham Young University and an MFA in Graphic Design from Utah State University. Find her on Twitter as @BrizidaMagro and on Instagram as @sweetbeyond.
