In Elizabeth Acevedo’s With The Fire on High, Emoni, a teen mother, struggles to put herself first, but with supportive family, friends, and mentors by her side, she realizes that she can still be the best mom to her daughter while simultaneously pursuing her passion: cooking. Cooking helps her connect with her past, set the course for her future, and learn the importance of respect, courage, perseverance, and teamwork. . . . . . @acevdowrites #withthefireonhigh #elizabethacevedo #pisdreads #dobielibrary #jfdlibrary #yacontemporary #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #yalit #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CTj25x5La0g/?utm_medium=tumblr
