Although Camila lives near many exciting places, it is only now that she begins to explore new activities that help her tap into her inner warrior. Along the way, Camila discovers that courage isn't just found in big moments—it is modeled by the everyday people who surround her. With gentle encouragement from her Mama, Camila signs up for her first martial arts class. What begins as an intimidating experience soon becomes a journey filled with excitement, fear, and moments of disappointment.
