Reviews

This book connects the important work of partnering with parents from all types of families to the NAEYC standards that make our field high quality. The author provides reflection questions, family voices, and strategies that authentically relate to early childhood education work. I recommend this book to both new and veteran educators to deepen their partnerships with families in their programs.     --Sherrie Rose Mayle, In-Home Child Care Provider and Former Preschool Program Director and Teacher    Families' voices are centered with gratitude and appreciation when we capture their stories and lived experiences. Hear Our Voices! creates this authentic space by starting with the family story and providing concrete strategies to honor and partner with families. A must-read for all educators and system-change leaders serving families.  --Kelly Ramsey, CEO, Developing People, Inc., and Coauthor, Families and Educators Together    Bweikia Steen has done the critical work of highlighting the importance of engaging families in their children's education. As her research indicates, children will feel safe and included when families are respected and invited into partnership with their children's school and teachers.   --Damaris Rosado-James, Professional Development Trainer, Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County    In this thought-provoking book, Dr. Steen draws upon family voices, her experiences as a parent and educator, and current research to offer realistic, useful strategies for engaging in reciprocal partnerships with families. It is an essential read for educators committed to equity and inclusion.  --Julie K. Kidd, Professor Emerita, George Mason University
