Produktbeschreibung

"Julie Black Belt is the kind of picture book I wished we read while we were taking karate. I really like that the main character is a girl with dreamy notions of becoming a black belt but gets daunted by the actual training. This is the reality of karate - it's a marathon, not a sprint! But like karate, the act of doing and not giving up pays dividends in areas that cross beyond physical training: self-control, self-discipline, and self-confidence. Julie Black Belt's message also has an overarching theme of perseverance - that achievement results from consistent hard work." -Pragmatic Mom

When Julie takes a kung fu class, she thinks getting a black belt will be easy. But her new instructor says guess again! As reality doesn't match her expectations, Julie wonders what would her matinee idol Brandy Wu would do.

Julie takes her lessons to heart. But can this "white belt" pass the test to show her family, teacher, and heroine this sport's true spirit? A refreshing character that children identify with, Julie displays what real kid power is!
