ULTRA-MODERN Book Review of NO KIMCHI FOR ME! By Aram Kim
Little Yoomi and her older brothers adore their grandmother's traditional Korean cooking, but Yoomi hates the spicy taste and "stinky" smell of kimchi. To Yoomi's brothers, eating kimchi is a rite of passage, and because Yoomi detests kimchi so much, they called her a baby and barred her from playing games with them. This treatment made Yoomi upset, but mostly, it made Yoomi determined to eat kimchi. First, Yoomi tries kimchi with her favorite foods, but she still finds the taste unsavory. Then, noticing her granddaughter's grit, Yoomi's grandmother intervenes. Together, they create one deliciously smelling, amazingly tasting giant kimchi pancake.
Yoomi's brothers and grandmother all love the kimchi pancake.
Will Yoomi finally be able to eat the kimchi pancake with her family?
Aram Kim welcomes us into her grandmother's kitchen, with illustrations so precise your tummy aches with longing for classical style Korean food. Kids will enjoy the impressive bright images and relatable family themes, such as the picky eater, the grandparent caregiver, and sibling teasing. Teachers and parents will appreciate how "NO KIMCHI FOR ME!" is an age-appropriate introduction for students (preschool - 2nd grade) to learn about Korean culture through family and food. Additionally, families and classes can work together like Yoomi and her grandmother to create kimchi pancakes using the recipe in the book. Indeed, "NO KIMCHI FOR ME!" is an amusingly rich book that promotes cultural diversity, and I am happy to read the remainder of the series.
