Cat Yoomi hates the taste and smell of spicy kimchi, and her big brothers tease her for being a baby. Then Grandma comes up with a delicious way to serve the dish to her granddaughter. The simply worded story features beautifully detailed illustrations of Korean dishes, including kimchi. A recipe for making kimchi pancakes is appended.

After scrounging for food, a calico cat waits dejectedly at a bus stop. One driver snarls at it ("Scram / Scoot / SHOO!"), the next driver lets it board. The cat is greeted by a kindly man, and the simple story comes to a very happy ending. Kim combines pastels and colored pencils digitally to create clean, spare illustrations showing a diverse urban environment.
