Fascinating picture book biography that brings Annie Londonderry's daring 1894 bicycle world tour to life! I never knew about her until now. Back matter includes an author's note with more information on Kopchovsky/Londonderry, the history of biking and of women riding bikes, a timeline, and an extensive bibliography.

This is a beautifully written nonfiction picture book, that’s filled with hope and perseverance. I rooted every step of the way for Annie Londonderry on her incredible journey, as she cycled around the world. Faced with little opportunities for women at the time, she remained determined to prove herself. Beautiful illustrations depict the time period, transporting the reader through her intense travels. This is a must-read, feel-good book, that will have readers cheering to the finish line!
