Professional Book Reviews: Using Language across Communities

In this issue, the authors explore language and cultural brokering through reviews of three books. The first book draws from teachers across the US to show how the arts can be used to facilitate the learning process of emergent bilingual youth. The second book invites critical thinking about the role of race in language. It also offers practical ideas for incorporating language differences into classrooms. The final review provides essential information on preschool and early elementary biliteracy development. The book provides illuminating vignettes and solid research applied to classroom practices.
