When Sundae’s friends ask her to join them riding bikes, she stays behind because her bike still has training wheels, but Sundae feels much safer with them on. Instead, she busies herself with finding colorful rocks and making up rhymes. But when snarky Junior and Journey make fun of Sundae for playing alone and about her babyish bike, she becomes determined to prove them wrong.
Learning to ride without training wheels is not as easy as she thought it would be, but with her dad’s help and her own self-belief and determination, she is soon riding like a pro and all the neighborhood kids-including Junior and Journey-cheer for Sundae with respect for her perseverance and grit. Sundae is thankful to the Lord for giving her the strength to succeed and to her dad for his unwavering support.
