Karate Kids

Publisher: Walker Books Ltd

Publication date: 6th February 2020

Join Maya and all her friends as they get together at the dojo

for their Saturday karate class! There are moves to remember, blocks

to practise, and punches to perfect! Maya is a white belt, which means she's still a beginner, but with focus, balance and determination -

and a little helping hand from her friends - can she show Sensei what she's got? Written and illustrated by Holly Sterling, a karate champion and teacher, this is a joyful and uplifting celebration of the sport, and a must-have primer for any child hoping to be a karate kid one day, too!
