Kansas, the Sunflower State, is not just a playground for sunflowers to sway in the wind, but it's also a wonderland for kids who love to pedal their hearts out. These pint-sized pedal-pushers, known affectionately as the Spokes Sprites, are a lively group of adventurous children who ride their bikes through the state's wheat-wafting plains and twisting trails from sunrise to sunset. The story begins with our cool protagonist, a freckle-faced, cheeky sprite named Kippy the Kansas Cruiser. Kippy, with his snazzy sunflower helmet and wind-ruffled orange hair, is the fastest, wittiest, and most daring of the Spokes Sprites. His bicycle, a shiny wonder with vibrant sunflower yellow wheels, is the envy of every kid in Kansas. Kippy and his companions love to pedal along the lengthy, winding roads of Kansas, their laughter echoing through the rolling plains. Zipping through fields of sunflowers, they playfully dodge the bright, bobbing sunflower heads that seem to cheer them on! They compete to see who can make the longest skid marks or who can pop the most impressive wheelie. Their journey is filled with funny mishaps and goofy antics. There's never a day that goes by without a tale of a tumble into a haystack, a clumsy chase around a cornfield, or a head-first dive into a scarecrow! But, no matter the tumble or trip, they are always ready to dust themselves off and hop back onto their bicycles, ready for the next pedal-pumping adventure! Their motto - "In Kansas, we don't just ride; we rule the roads!" So, when you see a trail of dust rising from the Kansas plains, remember, it's just Kippy and the Spokes Sprites, adding another chapter to their ever-expanding book of biking adventures.
