Milly is an energetic and curious little girl who is transported to the enchanted land of Alfalohany through a very magical book.
There she meets some talented animal friends who teach her the gentle art of Jiu Jitsu. She learns that respect, kindness, patience and discipline are just some of the practices of this special martial art. With new confidence, Milly returns to her small town, sharing Jiu Jitsu, making it feel magical too.
Not just a story, the magic of Jiu Jitsu is real for those children who step onto the mats. As you read with your little ones through Milly's adventure, together you'll see that Jiu Jitsu teaches children not only self defense but; respect, discipline, kindness, patience all while they grow in confidence. As I've travelled the world spreading my father's art; Gracie Jiu Jitsu and the love for Jiu Jitsu that he has instilled in me, I've heard from countless parents that their children have been transformed by practising "the gentle art". It's my hope that this endearing story will inspire your little ones to step onto the mats and feel the magic of Jiu Jitsu for themselves.
