The New Red Bike

By Simon Watson · Illustrated by Charlotte Voake About

‘”You said you couldn’t ride your bike,” said Annabel. “Well I can now,” said Wallace.’

In this delightful collection of short stories, Wallace learns to ride a bike, decides he’d rather be the driver of a breakdown truck than a policeman, tries to clean windows, helps to build a bird table – and finally gives his grandmother a birthday present, birthday card and thank-you letter.

Charlotte Voake

Born and raised in Wales, Charlotte says that book illustration is “the only thing I ever wanted to do,” and she certainly has made a brilliant career of it. Skipping formal training in art, she studied art history at London University and worked at a gallery before embarking on a freelance career in illustration. Her illustrations are widely loved for their gentle wit, quiet observation, airy exuberance and utter charm. Her picture books include Ginger, winner of the Smarties Prize and its prequel, Ginger Finds a Home, which shows how the loving ministrations of a little girl transformed the title character from stray to pampered pet. More recently, Charlotte has written and illustrated Tweedle Dee Dee; Hello Twins, winner of the British Book Design and Production Award; and Pizza Kittens, winner of the Smarties Prize.
