When Tillie Anderson came to America, all she had was a needle. So she got herself a job in a tailor shop and waited for a dream to find her. One day, a man sped by on a bicycle. She was told "e;bicycles aren't for ladies,"e; but from then on, Tillie dreamed of ridingnot graceful figure eights, but speedy, scorching, racy riding! And she knew that couldn't be done in a fancy lady's dress. With arduous training and her (shocking!) new clothes, Tillie became the women's bicycle-riding champion of the world.Sue Stauffacher's lively text and Sarah McMenemy's charming illustrations capture the energy of America's bicycle craze and tell the story of one woman who wouldn't let society's expectations stop her from achieving her dream.
