I was given this book to read by an American friend also married to Brazilian. It is more of less helpful but contains a lot of information that I wasn't really looking for but that was, I suppose, interesting. For example, it goes into a lot of detail about how children (i.e. the brain) learn languages, the advantages of bilingualism and reasearch comparing monolinguals and bilinguals.

This book got me all fired up about bilingualism during the early years, so much so that I enrolled Sofia 2 days/week in a Spanish immersion preschool. I'm planning to reinforce it at home as I can.

Filled with very important information for parents who want to raise their child bilingual. Why learning multiple languages is important. The best window of tome for learning a second language. When and how to start etc...
Some topics are not explored in enough depth, but the book is a good introduction to the subject. It may be sufficient for the needs of most parents. Further reading is suggested for each chapter and I plan to do that when I can...
An amazing resource for anyone even slightly curious about raising bilingual children. Anything and everything from when do I start to how to now over-do-it.
If you know a minimum about child language acquisition it's pretty boring. If not and you're curious about it, go for it... it's kind of like "how to teach your kid a second language for dummies" with some statistics.
If you debating whether or not to raise your child in a bilingual home, this is a great book. However, if you have already made the decision, it may not be as helpful.
