유미는 할머니가 만든 음식을 좋아해요. 다만 냄새가 지독하고 매운 김치는 빼고요. 김치는 한국 전통의 절인 배추로 만든 음식이랍니다. "넌 아직 어려서 못 먹는 거란다," 오빠가 놀리네요. 그리고 오빠들은 어려서 놀아주지 않아요. 더 이상 어리지 않다는 걸 증명하기 위해 유미는 김치의 맛을 좀더 좋게 만들 방법을 찾으려고 합니다. 하지만 아이스크림조차도 도움이 되진 못하죠. 다행히도 할머니에게 좋은 생각이 떠올랐고, 곧 모두가 즐겁게 새로운 음식을 즐길 수 있게 되었답니다. 

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!
