Aram Kim is a New York-based illustrator and designer who grew up in South Korea. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts, she is the author of Cat on the Bus and No Kimchi for Me!, which was a Junior Library Guild selection and a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year.
"In this follow-up to No Kimchi for Me (2017), Kim utilizes her
signature bold cartoon style, developing distinct characters with
touches of humor. Backmatter includes explanations of taekwondo,
symbols of Korean culture, and a glossary. A sweet tale of shared
perseverance that bursts with color, culture, and energy."—Kirkus
Reviews

and written throughout, lending authenticity to this story, which
will resonate with anyone who has faced down an obstacle."
