Learning to ride a bicycle is a risky challenge for Olivia. She avoids this risk and even turns down ice cream, her favorite snack. What will encourage Olivia to overcome her fear and take a chance? The Ride gives children hope and understanding. Regardless of the size of the task or regardless of the person’s age, gaining strength and courage from the Lord is only a prayer away. In this, her second book, Kayla Davidson creates a fun, playful way to teach children how to include God in their everyday lives. The Ride is a very tender and loving story about the relationship between mother and daughter and their trust that God is always with them in difficult situations. The illustrations by Kim Felts are exquisitely done and compliment the story perfectly. -- Marilou George, Kid's Book Tent Book Reviews The Ride is a cute book encouraging children that they can do all things through Christ who strengthens them - even riding a bike without training wheels. Complete with beautiful illustrations that will keep kids entertained. My daughters both enjoyed reading this book, which is actually designed for early elementary and preschoolers, not ones who are into chapter books. If you have a child who needs a little bit of encouragement, then The Ride is a book to consider.
