Abstract
This chapter explores the potential of multilingual resources for use with bilingual preservice teachers (BPSTs) in a translanguaging community of practice. Among these resources were 30 picture books selected for their potential as literatura fronteriza (border crossing literature) that centers people of color. Findings suggest the value of offering BPSTs a translanguaging space for exploring these resources, followed by an opportunity to see the resources used in practice and culminating in reflective interactions. For Maria, the availability of a Spanish-language teaching resource further reinforced her heritage language identity while empowering her teacher discourse. Implications elevate the role of language in culturally and linguistically sustaining practices as well as expanded ways of viewing border crossing literature as connected to social emotional learning and trauma-informed care.
