Today, Matte the Giraffe finally learned to ride her bike all by herself! Suddenly, she had two feelings at the same time: the pure joy of freedom and the scary thought that she didn't learn how to stop! Ride along with Mattie as she meets new friends and explores strange places on her very first awesome, accidental adventure. This children's book features full color-illustrations and a clever plot which will entertain children and adults alike. Six years in the making, Mattie the Giraffe began as the subject of the twentieth anniversary poster for Destin Festival of the Arts and went on to win multiple awards culminating in this book.
