Kimchi is a Korean dish made of pickled vegetables, and the main character of this book loves it. She loves it so much she eats it every single day, but never in the same way. We go on a food journey in which kimchi is used in stews, dumplings, pancakes, and other meals. The text is rhyming and brief, more for the younger picture book crowd. The illustrations of the cute child and various foods are amazing. #bookreview #kidlit #diversebooksforkids #kimchi #picturebook #childrensbooks

This is a hilarious picture book about a boy with a super-long name, and his name puts him in danger. #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #picturebooks #childrensbooks #diversebooksforkids #kidlit #books
