Bookroo's summary

Frankie faces the thrilling challenge of trying new things, from riding a bike to making new friends. Each adventure teaches her that courage is key to growing up. Will she embrace the unknown and find her inner strength? Join Frankie on her journey of firsts, where every step is a leap into the extraordinary.

From the publisher

While Frankie learns to ride a bike, tie her shoes, make new friends, try new foods, and work with her dad, she also learns that trying new things is how she grows–and that being brave enough to do so is what growing up is all about.
