Yoomi loves Grandma\'s cooking—except for stinky, spicy kimchi, the pickled cabbage condiment served at Korean meals.\r\n \r\n \"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. \r\n \r\n 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. \r\n \r\n Backmatter includes information about kimchi and how it\'s made, and best of all, a recipe for Grandma\'s kimchi pancakes to try yourself! \r\n \r\n For more about Yoomi and her family, don\'t miss Let\'s Go to Taekwondo! by Aram Kim. \r\n \r\n A Junior Library Guild Selection!
