Do you know Moon?
Moon is the strongest boy in the whole village. Even the geese give way to him! One day, he sets off to the Mysterious Academy of Martial Arts, hidden in the red peaks of the Pho Mountains, hoping that he can easily earn a black belt there.
Let’s see what comes out of this!
The Hut came into view. It stood on two short legs, and other than that, there was nothing unusual about it. Moon cautiously went to the door and knocked on it a few times. No one answered. He pulled the handle. The door opened with a creak, oddly resembling a startled bird’s squawk…

Suddenly, through the thinning mist, he spotted a small tea house hiding in the shade of thick plants. In the hibiscus bushes, a hunched figure was moving.
A ghost in the wide-brimmed hat slowly turned towards him. A teapot, from which he watered the flowers, remained forever in his semi-transparent hands. “Oh, Moon. Come here. I’ve already heard about you and your feats…”

After the birth of my two sons and gaining slightly terrifying parenting experience, I lost control and wrote the very first chapter about the mischievous Moon (who is actually just a portrayal of my son Andrey and my friend’s nephew David). This writing practice turned out to be unexpectedly healing and useful. Andrey began dancing after reading the carrot-chapter, something he had always refused to do because of his strong belief that ‘boys don’t dance!’ I learned to admire my son’s bravery and daring feats, which used to mostly annoy and worry me. Occasionally, I hear him refer to ‘One Incredible Journey’ to justify his small life decisions, and a single tear of pride runs down my cheek. Until he breaks something. Again! AAAARRGGHHH!!!!

I have been teaching Taekwondo to children and teenagers for 20 years. My coaching experience has taught me the importance of not only teaching kids how to block and strike, but also introducing them to important moral principles such as self-control, honesty, perseverance, and courtesy from an early age. I discussed this issue with my friend and we came up with the idea of creating a children’s book that presents complex concepts in a fun and exciting way. And here we are with ‘One Incredible Journey to the Black Belt’!
