No Kimchi For Me!
Written by Aram Kim
Published by Holiday House
Yoomi hates stinky, spicy kimchi the pickled cabbage condiment served at Korean meals. So her brothers call her a baby and refuse to play with her. Yoomi is determined to eat kimchi. She tries to disguise it by eating it on a cookie, on pizza, and in ice cream. But that doesn’t work. Then Grandma shows Yoomi how to make kimchi pancakes. This story about family, food, and a six-year-old coming of age has universal themes, and at the same time celebrates Korean culture. A kimchi pancake recipe and other back matter are included.
