The Bicycle Man (Sandpiper) by Allen Say
The amazing tricks two American soldiers perform on a borrowed bicycle are a fitting finale for the school sports day festivities in a small village in occupied Japan.
I love the stranger out of water scenario and how Allen Say resolves it. The children are initially frightened of the soldiers but then learns that the men are just people who look a little differently.
