Yoomi wants her baby cousin to be happy-on her 1st birthday and for the rest of her life. Can Yoomi help?

The whole family is gathering to celebrate baby cousin's 1st birthday. They will do the doljabi! Dasom's mommy will assemble a microphone, a ball, money, yarn, a paintbrush, and other things. Dasom will pick something, and that will decide her future. If she picks a ball, she will be an athlete. If she picks a paintbrush, she will be an artist.

Yoomi is worried. What if Dasom picks a paintbrush and doesn't want to be an artist? Grandma assures Yoomi that Dasom can become whatever she wants-but maybe she will be a creative person, just like an artist.

But Baby Dasom's choice surprises everybody--and reminds us that friends and family are what's important!

Yoomi's concern displays empathy, and her questioning shows a girl exercising her critical thinking muscles in this delightful story about family customs and relationships.

YOOMI FRIENDS AND FAMILY is a picture book series about a Korean girl, her loved ones, and her culture. Other books in the series are No Kimchi for Me!, a Junior Library Guild selection and a Bank Street College Best Book of the Year, Let's Go to Taekwondo: A Story About Persistence, Bravery, and Breaking Boards, a Junior Library Guild Selection, and Sunday Funday in Koreatown, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection.
