New Children's Book by Local ESOL Teacher
Emily Asare, an ESOL teacher from Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES, has published a children’s book called Fishing with Pap. This story is about a little girl who learns how to fish from her grandfather, but it also teaches how even when you are small you can still do great things. This book is available online from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles online, and is also available at the “Heart of Hilton” shop in Hilton, NY.
