«“Sunny has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and is the daughter of the grandmaster. At their dojang . . . Sunny not only practices her craft but also attends to her many responsibilities. . . . A brief note at the end summarizes the essence of the philosophy of Tae Kwon Do, and a sweet surprising element of fantasy adds a touch of humor to this gentle fictional primer about an ancient and venerated cultural tradition.” — Booklist “Young Sunny, already an accomplished black belt, practices taekwondo at a school of martial arts. . . . She leads a taekwondo class filled with students diverse in race and abilities. As the students practice their kihaps (strong, clipped shouts), they inadvertently rouse from the mountains two mythical tigers and a sapphire-colored dragon. . . . Kim’s bright palette and energetic cartoon artwork. . . bring depth to each page. . . . A lighthearted tale of responsibility with plenty of fun.” — Kirkus Reviews “In this gently funny picture book, readers are introduced to a quiet village, to a ‘modest dojang . . . a school of martial arts,’ and to Sunny, the dojang grandmaster’s daughter. . . . Readers are exposed to some of the basic elements and vocabulary of Tae Kwon Do. . . . The text is soothingly rhythmic, with lots of alliteration and onomatopoeia. The color palette is warm and comforting, with the soft orange of the nearby persimmon trees and the sunset conveying calm. . . . A whimsical slice of life that will appeal to many small warriors. ” — Horn Book Magazine»
