Karate Grandma

Karate Grandma is a delightful children’s picture book written entirely in rhyme, filled with humor, heart, and a surprising hero.

Set in the colorful streets of 1980s Amsterdam, the story follows a short, sturdy grandmother on a simple shopping trip for fruit, vegetables, croissants, and a baguette. When two mischievous teenagers try to tease her at a bus stop, they quickly discover that this grandma is anything but ordinary—she knows karate!

Told in cheerful, rhythmic verse and paired with playful cartoon-style illustrations, Karate Grandma is perfect for reading aloud and sharing laughs together. The story gently teaches children not to judge others by their appearance, to respect elders, and to understand that courage can come from the most unexpected places.
