The parent researcher aspect of the book is unique."" Sandra Winn Tutwiler, Washburn University, USA ""The language stories in this book will expand the thinking of teachers, researchers and other educational professionals and raise new questions for further research. At the same time for those new to these ideas, these stories are a wonderful place to begin to consider the power of understanding the complex process of learning in homes and in school."" Yetta M.
