“The authors offer a refreshing, critically grounded book that pushes the multiple boundaries and fronteras that children, teachers, and la comunidad cross and transform every day. Through the power of storytelling and the varied critical scholarship presented, childhood education in Tejas can be experienced as a ‘trans-dimensional co-existence’ for bilingual, bicultural children in Tejas and beyond—a necessary re-imagination. It is a must read for anyone interested in the nuevas posibilidades within contemporary critical childhood studies.”—CINTHYA M. SAAVEDRA, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS RIO GRANDE VALLEY
