My next picture book...the kimchi fridge!

The Kimchi Fridge publishes October 6, 2026, from Little Bee Books & is available for preorder.
This book is a result of my attending the Marvelous Midwest SCBWI writers conference in 2023! You can read about that here. Scroll down to #10 on the list.
Whether you eat kimchi or not, this book is about waiting, family & community, & of course, food.
