How we talk about our #multilinguallearners matters.

They do not have "zero English" or are "behind grade level" or "that teacher's kids."

They are "emergent bilinguals", "on their language journey", and "our students".

Shift your perspective. Shift your practice. #mll #eal

2. Dalia's Wondrous Hair / El cabello maravilloso de Dalia is a #duallanguage #Spanish & #English #picturebook written & illustrated by Laura Lacámara (Spanish translation: Gabriela Baeza Ventura) 💙📚

What a fun mix of magical realism, nature, & connections to #Cuba!

#ESL #EAL #multilinguallearners
This is the cover of the picture book: Dalia's Wondrous Hair / El cabello maravilloso de Dalia by/por Laura Lacámara. To the left of center is Dalia, whose curly, dark hair rises to the top of the page, with a butterfly perched on the left side. In the background you see Dalia's mother, a small black cat hiding behind her, and a house in the distance with a palm tree at the top.

I don't always love #duallanguage books, but I can recommend these two in #Spanish & #English:

1. Flotando en la canción de mamá / Floating on Mama's Song (Laura Lacámara, Yuyi Morales)

The illustrations are absolutely wonderful!

#picturebooks #multilingualism #ESL #EAL #multilinguallearners
The cover of a dual language picture book has the title at the topFloating on Mama's Song / Flotando en la canción de mamá, with the the author's name below, Laura Lacámara, and the text, llustrated by/ilustrado por Yuyi Morales. The cover features a woman holding the hand of a young child floating in the air, while the younger brother floats on the other side. Two pages from inside are covered in a rose pink with blue and yellow colors in an almost tie die pattern on the page. A woman's face is turned up to the sky on the left side, eyes closed, singing, with colors seeming to come from her mouth. The right side shows her hand lifting up towards the sky. The text reads: My mama loves to sing. Her singing was always a happy part of everyday life. But everything changed the day after my seventh birthday. / A mamá le encanta cantar. Su canto siempre ha sido una ocasión de alegría cotidiana en nuestra vida. Pero todo cambió el día después que cumplí siete años.
