Little Kunoichi the Ninja Girl




This story of a young ninja girl in training features illustrations with an origami and paper collage feel, which make this empowering, girl-power book truly beautiful with strong appeal to adults as well as kids.

Meet Little Kunoichi, a young ninja in training!

On a "super secret island" in a "super super secret village," Little Kunoichi, is struggling at school. Inspired by tiny Chibi Samurai’s practice and skills, she works harder than ever and makes a friend. Together, they show the power of perseverance, hard work, and cooperation, and they wow the crowd at the Island Festival. Through beautiful watercolor illustrations, and a funny and endearing story, Little Kunoichi will capture the imagination of young ninjas-in-training.

The endnotes contain additional information about sumo wrestling, ninja training, and other aspects of Japanese language and culture.

More adventures can be found in the Little Kunoichi series with Chibi Samuari Wants a Pet and Ba-chan The Ninja Grandma.
