Sam and their intrepid grandma bike around the world together in this sweet intergenerational adventure!Grandma Rose’s job is having amazing adventures around the globe and writing about them. Her next trip is extra-special–because this time, Sam is tagging along! Together Sam and Grandma Rose will bike and explore national parks, villages, and sprawling cities, from bear sightings in Alberta to sloths in Costa Rica, and from gelato in Italy to bánh mi in Vietnam.
