These two books, authored by Maria Coady (2019) and Cecilio Lapresta-Rey and Ángel Huguet (2019), attempt to shed light on affordances and challenges associated with implementing plurilingual pedagogies while involving families and communities to support multilingual learners in school settings. Through an in-depth analysis of school language policies and plurilingual pedagogies, Coady (2019) and Lapresta-Rey and Huguet (2019) argue that linguistically minoritized students and their families are not sufficiently included in the mainstream class-rooms and school communities. Moving forward, authors of both books present asset based approaches as solutions to achieving more inclusive educational systems
