This book is about young children who learn through more than one language in Aotearoa New Zealand.
A considerable body of knowledge exists on second language learning but this work charts new territory in its focus on the experience of young children who learn in a home or heritage language other than English. This includes children learning in te reo Māori, as well as children with Pasifika and immigrant community languages.
A central theme of the book is that early childhood educators can foster and validate the multiple languages children and their families bring, through thoughtful planning, pedagogy and practice.
