This book is the first book I’ve read about multilingual education that has a tone and voice that matches the tenacity I’ve needed in my career. As a seasoned ML teacher most of the info wasn’t new to me, but the encouragement and approach was on point.

The author uses her many years as an expert in teaching MLs and their teachers to craft a user-friendly and engaging book to guide the rest of us. This book is the book you need to get yourself and your colleagues fired up and ready to make changes--for the benefit of your students! I highly recommend this book for continuing your professional learning--it will change you!
