About this adventure
Gilbert picture-book author and illustrator Jenifer Tull-Gauger reads from The Calm View Karate Kid, the sixth title in her Dojo Kun Character Books series, which uses karate-dojo values to talk about feelings, this one about cooling down anger. She will also show photos from her trip to the Hakugin-do monument in Itoman, Okinawa, and tell the original samurai legend that inspired the story. The books are written for children about 5 to 10, but younger and older siblings are welcome; children under 14 need a parent or guardian with them. Light refreshments celebrate the book's debut reading. The event is free at HD SOUTH, the history museum in downtown Gilbert, and registration is required.
