Tillie the Terrible Swede: How One Woman, a Sewing Needle, and a Bicycle Changed History
(2)
K-3
Illustrated by
Sarah McMenemy.
Swedish immigrant Tillie Anderson fell in love with cycling, seeing the bicycle as a means of mobility and freedom. Placing her accomplishments within historical context, this breezy picture book biography follows Tillie's journey as she starts a physical regime and fashions an outfit of (gasp!) pants. Constant curves in McMenemy's cheery gouache, ink, and paper collage art convey a sense of motion.
