Yoomi loves Grandma's cooking--except for stinky, spicy kimchi, the
pickled cabbage condiment served at Korean meals.
You can't eat it because you're a baby, her brothers tease. And they
don't play with babies. Determined to prove she's not a baby, Yoomi
tries to find a way to make kimchi taste better--but not even ice cream
can help. Luckily, Grandma has a good idea, and soon everyone has a new
food to enjoy.
Celebrating family, food, and growing up, this story about a
Korean-American family will appeal to picky eaters and budding foodies
alike. Aram Kim's lively art is filled with expressive characters and
meticulous details--and of course, mouth-watering illustrations of
traditional Korean dishes and ingredients.
Backmatter includes information about kimchi and how it's made, and best
of all, a recipe for Grandma's kimchi pancakes to try yourself!
