Description:

Meet Isabel — but everyone at school calls her Bunjitsu Bunny. She kicks higher, throws farther and punches harder than any other student in her martial arts class, and yes, that makes a few of her classmates a little nervous. But here's Isabel's secret: she almost never needs to use her skills at all. As she likes to remind everyone, true bunjitsu isn't really about hitting and throwing — it's about discovering clever ways NOT to. In this delightful collection of twelve short, easy-to-read tales, Isabel outwits sneaky pirates, side-steps a bullying jackrabbit, races a doubting tortoise, calms her own scary nightmares and learns to flow with an ocean wave instead of fighting it. Sprinkled with gentle Zen-style wisdom and brought to life by the author's charming two-colour illustrations, this beginner chapter book is funny, thoughtful and quietly powerful.
