"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!

Julie Black Belt's message also has an overarching theme of perseverance - that achievement results from consistent hard work." -Pragmatic MomWhen Julie takes a kung fu class, she thinks getting a black belt will be easy.
