"""...[T]he layered illustrations—created using colored paper, hanji, and digital art—are eye-popping, dimensional, and delectable.""—Publishers Weekly ""Bright and joyful; just like kimchi, this tale has a delectable kick.""—Kirkus Revews ""A delicious read-aloud and perfect recommendation for every child, any day of the week.—starred, School Library Journal"
The young Korean girl who narrates eats kimchi every day. However, her diet is far from monotonous. She eats it fried, stewed, in a roll, on noodles, and more, displaying the versatility of this traditional dish. Kim's text is engaging, with simple words arranged into exquisitely paced rhymes that walk readers through each day of the week and include gentle repetition. Complementing the text is artwork that consists of digitally enhanced collages arranged on hanji, Korean handmade paper that here has been brightly colored. Kim shows the main character in various clothes including pajamas, school clothes, and a traditional Korean hanbok. An expressive gray bunny companion accompanies the young girl on every page. Endpapers display repeating images of the cute bunny enjoying a variety of kimchi dishes. Extensive back matter introduces readers to a variety of kimchi facts and dishes, and for those who are still reluctant to try it, ideas for adding kimchi to American staples such as hamburgers and french fries. VERDICT: A delicious read-aloud and perfect recommendation for every child, any day of the week.--starred, School Library Journal -- Journal (7/15/2022 12:00:00 AM)
