The Warrior's Code: And How I Live It Every Day (a Kid's Guide to Love, Respect, Care, Responsibilit Y, Honor, and Peace)

2022 NAPPA Award winner

Kai is a warrior! And as a warrior, Kai has a code to live by and share with others. This is the warrior's code: to be peaceful, to be kind of heart, and to respect all living things.

An empowering "code of conduct" book that teaches kids age 4-8 that bravery and courage mean treating others with kindness, standing up for what's right, and demonstrating peace and self-respect.

Inspired by the classic spiritual text, Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior, this uplifting story for children will build self-esteem, cultivate kindness, and instill values of compassion, nonviolence, and honoring. Written by a 7th degree Kajukenbo black belt, The Warrior's Code distills the ethics of traditional martial arts into a simple and clear message that kids can memorize, embody, and understand. Kids who follow the code of the warrior can become more mindful, resilient, and confident.
