Review

"Offers a much-needed contribution to the field of early childhood education. Written with preservice early childhood educators in mind, the book is a powerful companion for those looking for ways to honor and sustain their students' cultural ways of being while helping them to achieve complex understandings of language and literacy."—Journal of Early Childhood Literacy"The book describes, in joyous detail, the practices that these teachers use to create a caring space. In this space, children feel they are known, they belong, and they are free to express their diverse identities and cultural practices."—Illinois Reading Council Journal
