A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Yoomi doesn't like kimchi - the pickled cabbage condiment served at Korean meals. No matter how she tries it, it's too slimy-- too stinky-- too spicy! Her brothers tease her, but Yoomi won't budge.

But with Grandma's help, Yoomi takes matters into her own paws, and finds a new way to enjoy this traditional dish.

This engaging book with sweet, expressive illustrations by author-illustrator Aram Kim is perfect for young readers learning to try new things! Featuring a lovable Korean American family, No Kimchi for Me! includes backmatter about Korean cuisine-- and a recipe for kimchi pancakes you can try at home.

The Yoomi, Friends and Family series is great for fans of Thank You, Omu!, Fry Bread, Bee-Bim Bop!, and Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao.

A perfect pick for:
• Parents of picky eaters looking for positive, food-related stories
• Korean American families sharing cultural pride and traditions
• Teachers and librarians building diverse, inclusive book collections
• Children ages 3–7 exploring food, family, and independence
