저자인 Frank Viva는 300회 이상의 수상경력을 지니고 있는 유명한 Illustrator 겸 Graphic Designer입니다. Frank Viva의 어린이 그림책 데뷔작이기도 한 이 책도 명성에 걸맞게 여러 기관으로부터 2012년 최고의 그림책으로 선정되었습니다. 국제적인 사이클 선수이기도 한 저자는 자전거를 타고 길고 긴 도로를 질주하는 역동적인 모습을 오직 5가지 색깔과 간결한 문장으로 잘 표현했습니다. 광택이 나는 노란색으로 표시된 도로는 앞페이지에서 뒷 페이지로 계속 이어지다가 다시 등대가 있는 시작지점으로 돌아 옵니다. 기나긴 길을 달리면서 오르막도 있고 내리막도 잇으며, 조그만 마을 둘레를 돌아서 가기도 하고, 터널과 교량을 지나기도 하며, 빨리 달리다가 길가의 사과나무에서 떨어진 사과에 걸려서 멈춰 서기도 합니다. 그리고는 다시 속도를 내서 달리고 달려서 마침내 출발지점에 다시 도착합니다. 어느덧 해는 이미 바다 속으로 사라지고 달이 떠 있네요....
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
Follow that road!
Speed off on an eventful bicycle ride along the bold yellow road that cuts through town, by the sea, and through the country. Ride up and around, along and through, out and down.
Frank's striking graphic style is executed in just five joyous colors, and his spare, rhythmic language is infectious.
Hit a bump?
Get back on track!
Reach the end?
Start again!
The New York Times
"A terrific debut from Viva."
The Boston Globe
"This is one of those rare picture books that deserves a place not only on a child's bookshelf but in an art museum."
The Globe and Mail
"...and after that exhilarating ride, we're just as keen as he is to start all over again. This time, we'll fully appreciate the graphic qualities of this tour de force"
Publishers Weekly
A note explains that newcomer Viva created the art for this celebration of cycling "as a single, continuous thirty-five-foot-long piece of art." The uniting element is a golden, glossy ribbon of road that winds, unbroken (but for a tunnel), through the matte pages of the entire book, even onto the endpapers and covers. Suggestive of linocut prints, Viva's artwork combines supple curves, big areas of soft black background, light blue for water and shading, and the occasional brick-red accent; it's simultaneously stylish and restrained. Simple, lilting text reproduces the smooth, rhythmic pace of cycling and the meditative state of mind it induces. "Along a long road," Viva starts, showing the cyclist in a grove of birches, "going up," he continues, as the cyclist climbs an incline, passing a snail. "Around a small town and down," he continues, as the road snakes past a football field, a bird flies overhead, and a figure on a tractor waves in the distance. It's the kind of book that creates a mood rather than telling a story, evoking the freedom of traveling, the joy of movement, and the exhilaration of being outside.
School Library Journal
The old adage that the journey is more important than the destination is whimsically demonstrated in this picture book. The illustrations were created as a continuous 35-foot-long piece of art using Adobe Illustrator, a fun fact tucked away in the front matter. Kids won't be able to resist tracing a finger along the featured bicyclist's route, shown in relief with glossy ink and running page to page and onto the covers without interruption. The bike rider winds his way through the countryside and the city, all created in a style reminiscent of 1950s-era graphic art. Readers may want to put on the brakes for just a moment to enjoy searching out smaller details, such as a whale's tail and a minuscule passenger on a Ferris wheel. The sophisticated palette - black, cream, rust red, slate blue, and burnished gold-is unusual in children's books and is another feature that makes this title a stand-out. The text is minimal, subtly reinforcing the action. This outstanding visual treat about the open road will inspire readers, whether on three wheels or two, to pedal faster and farther.
Kirkus Reviews
What was one continuous 35-foot long work of art turns into a nifty visual exercise and an engaging image for young folk.
There are only four colors—black, white, blue and rust—except for that long, long road, which is a shiny ocher. The text is equally minimalist, with only a handful of words per page. The cycling hero curls over his racing bike, now like a crochet hook, now like the capital letter L, now like the letter U, sideways. He races around the town, through a tunnel, over a bridge, hitting a bump, stopping, riding again. That shiny road widens and narrows but never ceases, and readers will gaze wide-eyed at what is along the way: a boy getting ice cream from a truck; a pregnant woman, with boy and dog in tow, buying groceries and waving; the circus tent outside of town and the lighthouse at water's edge. Viva, an international cyclist and designer of New Yorker covers, among many other things, has a pleasing graphic style that indicates shape and movement with geometric form and line.
Great fun to look at; kids will feel the speed of the bike and the there-ness of place.
