Kiki Kicks

Are you tired of feeling small and powerless in front of bullies? Introducing Kiki Kicks, a captivating children's book that empowers young minds to reclaim their strength and confidence through the power of martial arts. Written by award-winning author Jane Yolen and debut author Ariel Stemple, this picture book weaves a lyrical story of self-empowerment in a martial arts studio.

Through the journey of Kiki, a young girl who admires her mama's karate skills, readers learn valuable lessons about resilience, determination, and finding inner peace. Witness Kiki's transformation as she embarks on her first karate lesson and discovers what it truly means to be strong for the right reasons.

Yolen's well-known poem "Karate Kid," which has been cherished by educators and librarians for decades, forms the backbone of this heartwarming story. As Kiki encounters bullies at school who exert their strength for the wrong reasons, she finds solace and empowerment in the martial arts studio, where true strength is built from within.

With personal notes from the authors about the inspiration behind this story and how martial arts helped Stemple overcome bullying in her own life, Kiki Kicks goes beyond a typical children's book. It becomes an instrument of change, instilling confidence and teaching young readers the importance of standing tall against adversity.
