Ever since she got pregnant freshman year, Emoni Santiago’s life has been about making the tough decisions—doing what has to be done for her daughter and her abuela. The one place she can let all that go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness. 

Even though she dreams of working as a chef after she graduates, Emoni knows that it’s not worth her time to pursue the impossible. Yet despite the rules she thinks she has to play by, once Emoni starts cooking, her only choice is to let her talent break free.

• Book club will be held at 1060 Miami Way.  We might sit outside to discuss the books if the weather cooperates so please dress accordingly.

• Please make sure that your  kiddo reads the book before our book club meeting.  We encourage kids to read with a pen/highlighter in hand and underline or highlight any passages that they like or find interesting or confusing.  

• Encourage your kids to keep a list of any new vocabulary words and take the time to look them up.

• Have your reader write two questions before the group meeting and have them bring those questions to our meeting.

• Bring your copy of the book to our book club meeting so that each participant will be able to refer to the text during our discussion.

• Please drop your kiddos off by 4:30 so that we will have ample time to discuss the book assigned for the week.

• We will provide light snacks and beverages.  Please let me know about any allergies or food restrictions.

• Pick up is at 5:30.  Please be prompt!
