Description
Émilie looks around her. Nobody close by to help her out. She's unsure. She dreams of becoming a champion... Will today be the day she sets out on her bike to conquer her big wheels? But she is so small, the rocks so big, and she's a little bit afraid... Mom, who's not far in the garden tending to her peas, isn't aware of Émilie's hesitations. Come on! Take a deep breath and... let's go!
