That's when you and your brothers get inventive and build a bike from scratch, using everyday items like an old milk pot (maybe Mum is still using it, maybe not) and a used flour sack. You can even make a license plate from bark if you want. The end result is a spectacular bike, perfect for whooping and laughing as you bumpetty bump over sand hills, past your fed-up mum and right through your mud-for-walls home. A joyous story by multi-award-winning author Maxine Beneba Clarke, beautifully illustrated by street artist Van Thanh Rudd.","brand":"Maxine Beneba Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47794174984404,"sku":"9781536217414","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7668a98b-823a-4ac8-81bf-39624ab4eafa.jpg?v=1776182286","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781536217414","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
