Praise for Mariela Dabbah's previous book:
?Mariela Dabbah is at the head of the class when it comes to helping new Latino residents navigate life in the United States. Her latest book, Ayude a su Hijo a Tener ??xito en la Escuela (Help Your Child Succeed in School), comes on the heels of C??mo
Conseguir Trabajo en los Estados Unidos (How to Get Work in the United States),
published last year?It would behoove immigrant parents to familiarize themselves with Dabbah's work; likewise, it makes sense for school officials to take a gander themselves. It certainly makes sense they understand both sides of the cultural divide.?
