Like a million years ago (ok, last December) I announced that local artist, Marissa Dziedzic, and I wrote and illustrated a children’s book all about Shohei-Ryu karate.  The title is Cranky Kenny Learns Karate, and, if you couldn’t guess, it’s all about how karate helps a young boy to control his temper and to treat others peacefully and with fairness.

We promise the book is fun as well as educational–even for kids not interested in the martial arts.  The original publication date has been pushed back a bit, and we hope to have the final draft out by the holidays.  Here are two things to tide you over until then . . .

(Psst! A leaked preview of the book is after the jump!)
