Yellow belts mark a new beginning for Maya, Leo, Sam and Amina. With Sensei Roy, Sensei Diane and Sensei Joe, they explore Beginner's Mind, Japanese counting, new blocks and the courage to refuse an unsafe dare.

Read the colorful stories together on a screen, then print just the activities and coloring pictures your child wants to explore. Younger children can enjoy shared reading and help with directions.

- A complete 40-page color storybook with 8 illustrated stories.

- A 19-page Print & Play file: page finder, 8 story-linked activities, 8 matching coloring pictures, an extra page with answers and further learning, and the parent and teacher guide. No blank pages in this file; print single-sided to leave coloring-page backs empty.

Includes a guide for parents and teachers.

The guide offers discussion questions, practical ways to celebrate effort and rehearse a safe refusal, and a counting-and-comparing activity.
