From the Publisher
FROM THE AUTHOR OF MAXIMIZE YOUR CHILD’S BILINGUAL ABILITY
CONTENTS OF THE BOOK
The contents of this reader-friendly, 252-page book feature the stories of a wide range of families, each story shared in detail in its own chapter. Along with families that might be considered more “traditional” when thinking of bilingual families—such as an international couple with two different native languages—there are also the stories of families in which the parent or parents are non-native speakers of the minority language, a single parent raising a multilingual child, a bilingual child with special needs, and more.
The Foreword to the book was written by Dr. Annick De Houwer, the leading researcher in the field of child bilingualism, who offers this generous praise: “The engaging book you’re about to read focuses on parents who are successfully raising children who are fluent in a minority language spoken at home. The book tells the stories of 26 families from across the globe, from China through Poland to California, representing scores of minority languages, from Mongolian in Denmark to Hindi in the United States. The stories tell of dedication, effort, perseverance, and love—love for minority languages, and, above all, for the children who speak them.”
