“When The Karate Kid appeared in theaters in 1984, its heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship between a bullied boy and the Japanese maintenance man in his new apartment building became an instant classic. Now the beloved film is reimagined as a cute and colorful picture book, with charming illustrations by Kim Smith. When young Daniel is targeted by students from the Cobra Kai dojo, his neighbor Mr. Miyagi agrees to train him for the upcoming karate tournament. But why is Mr. Miyagi making Daniel wax his cars, sand his deck, and paint his house? Will Daniel ever master the art of karate? The Karate Kid children’s book includes familiar faces and unforgettable scenes, from Daniel catching a fly with chopsticks to his showdown against Johnny, the bully from Cobra Kai. Along the way, Daniel learns that karate isn’t about fightingโit’s about control, balance, and self-discipline.”
