Reading this book gives me hope. Rural multilingual families are challenged in so many ways: from encountering steady jobs, to locating health services they can understand, to being able to attend (at worst), and participate fully (at best) in school. This book highlights action, strengths, and engagement opportunities for rural multilingual families in school through non-traditional, culturally and linguistically responsive, and equitable ways. It is a long-needed resource. * Holly Hansen-Thomas, Texas Woman's University, USA * Outstanding teachers make a significant difference to students' academic success and chances in life. This thought-provoking book stunningly articulates the importance of developing caring and trustworthy relationships with rural multilingual families and children by equipping educators with the tools to reflect and act on behalf of those families. * Claudia Peralta, Boise State University, USA * This useful book fulfills a critical need for more complex understandings of multilingual children and families living in rural communities. Skillfully drawing on anecdote, theory, and research, Coady not only shows readers why a strength-based perspective is necessary for school-home-school engagement, but offers concrete ideas for how to create more humanized spaces for multilingual learning in rural communities. * Karen Eppley, Pennsylvania State University, USA * A significant strength of this text is that it scaffolds the reader's theoretical learning and ability to apply it to their own particular context, making the text practical and engaging for school-based practitioners and preservice teachers with field exposure as well as for various community members (e.g., social workers, community organizations, health organizations) that interact with rural multilingual families in the education space. -- Mary Beth Snow Balderas, University of Colorado Boulder, USA * Teachers College Record, September 2020 *More details
