On their way to the park, Saya stealthily stops a fight by flinging her floppy four-legged ninja-bunny between two snarling cats. Later, on the bus, Saya throws Kunoichi under the wheels of a child’s stroller, halting its dangerous roll toward the stairs. Dad doesn't notice as Saya uses Kunoichi to save the day time and time again on their outing and on the bus home, proving small actions can have a great impact.

Reviews
“A gentle, tender father-daughter excursion…The girl’s bravery reveals her as the true kunoichi of this tale.” – Booklist
"In this spare, largely wordless picture book... city scenes proceed cinematically as a pigtailed child, dark-haired and light-skinned, saves the day using a stuffed, Miffy-esque bunny named Kunoichi... Sato employs pencil art, finished digitally, particularly excelling at portraying dynamic, animation-like characters of varying ability, age, religion, and skin tone from a range of angles." - Publisher's Weekly
"A visual, day-in-the-life adventure that can be used to stimulate literacy-rich conversations with children." - Kirkus Review
"A compelling and thought-provoking read with tremendous entertainment value. Highly recommended." - CM Magazine
