LET'S GO TO TAEKWONDO! A Story About Persistence, Bravery, and Breaking Boards

Reach for this book when your child is facing a 'yellow belt' moment, that specific hurdle where excitement for a new activity turns into performance anxiety. While the story follows Yoomi as she prepares for her Taekwondo board-breaking test, its heart lies in the universal struggle of overcoming a specific, physical fear. It captures the moment a child considers quitting because a task feels too big, and provides a roadmap for how to lean on community and family to push through. Aram Kim uses gentle humor and expressive animal characters to normalize the 'butterflies' in a child's stomach. Through the support of her wise grandmother and her peers, Yoomi learns that bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the decision to try anyway. It is an ideal choice for children ages 3 to 7 who are starting sports, dance, or school, offering a beautiful bridge between traditional Korean culture and the modern playground experience.
