Abstract: Key tenets of bilingual education involve connectedness in the ability to collaborate with students and colleagues while establishing vital connection to families and communities.This book review examines Francois Grosjean's Life as a bilingual: Knowing and using two or more languages (2021); a compilation of blog posts published from 2010 to 2020.Written from a psycholinguistic perspective, Grosjean highlights many of the advantages of life as a bilingual while denouncing the monolingual view of bilingualism that historically maintains how bilinguals should learn, thrive, and exist in a monolingual English-language world at the expense of their first language.Across fifteen chapters, this collection of blog posts offers an assortment of topical and informative snippets on the bilingual person, adult or child, fitting for any bilingual-curious audience: university professors, researchers, educational practitioners, students, families, and community workers.
