Bee-Bim Bop

In bouncy rhyming text, a hungry child tells about helping her mother make bee-bim bop (a traditional Korean dish of rice topped, with meat and vegetables). They go shopping, prepare ingredients, set the table, and finally sit down to enjoy a favorite meal. The energy and enthusiasm of the young narrator are conveyed in the whimsical illustrations, which bring details from the artist’s childhood in Korea to his depiction of a modern Korean American family.
