ABOUT THE BOOK 

Written and Illustrated by James E. Ransome
Up and down! Round and round! Tom is having a blast zooming all over the neighborhood on his new red bike. But when Tom stops by Sam’s house to show off his wheels, he’s in for an unhappy surprise. The new bike is suddenly…gone. Could his best friend, Sam, be the culprit? This deceptively simple-seeming picture book offers a clever take on sharing.

Watching you paint made my fingers itch to mix up some colors and layer them on — I’ve been doing it all digitally lately, but you made me miss paper and brushes with your wonderful portrait — thanks for the inspiration!
