In 2008, Colin Thompson visited Cambodia with Save the Children. Struck by the way the humble bicycle was central to so many people lives, he was inspired to create The Bicycle, a beautifully illustrated book for kids and adults alike.

The Bicycle, Colin's second picture book for Save the Children, features illustrations from internationally acclaimed artists - including Quentin Blake, Shaun Tan, Tony Ross and Freya Blackwood - which celebrate the liberating joy of two wheels.

Sprinkled throughout are delightful quotes from famous people, as well as quotes from Cambodian children such as 14-year-old Dany, who describes his bicycle as his ′best friend′.

A bicycle is a symbol of fun, simplicity, colour adventure freedom and happiness - everything a childhood should be filled with. Yet just as the humble bicycle can give all of these experiences and feelings to children, it can also represent what many of the world's children simply does not have.

Save the Children are committed to saving and protecting children's lives and strive to give every child a safe and happy childhood.
