Book Awards & Honors

• Winner, Best Reference Book 2005 Latino Book Awards

From Publishers Weekly-
“…Vazquez applies these ideas [orgullo] with exceptional sensitivity to old-school Latin American values, showing parents how to ease away from an emphasis on total obedience, for example, without losing their position as their child’s primary guide and role model. Particularly helpful is her advice on teaching young children to be bilingual (she’s a strong advocate of the one person-one language method). Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States; for them and for the doctors and teachers who tend to their children, Vasquez’s book is an outstanding addition to the parenting reference shelf.”

From Elaine Ayala, San Antonio Express-News (Texas)-
“Easy to read and contains copious references and recommended resources.”

From Barri Bronston, Times-Picayune (New Orleans)-
"Dr. Vazquez, a psychologist and first-generation Latina, shows Latino parents how to raise well-adjusted, culturally flexible children."
