Supporting Literacies for Children of Color is half theoretic examination, half guidebook; the text revolves around the research that pre-school students of Color, historically underestimated, have cultural and linguistic strengths that should be recognized and supported in learning spaces. Meier establishes a strengths-based approach to literacy—stressing the importance of creating a developmentally engaging curriculum that includes books, oral storytelling, personal journals, drawings, and writings. A strong benefit of Meier’s text is that by using his own experiences, those of colleagues, and of families of Color, he connects theories to real life in a way that makes them accessible enough that educators and librarians of all levels will find value in adding it to their collection of professional development books.

支持有色人种儿童识字是一半理论考试，一半指南；文本围绕着研究，即历史上被低估的有色人种学龄前学生具有文化和语言优势，应该在学习空间中得到认可和支持。Meier 建立了一种基于优势的识字方法——强调创建具有发展吸引力的课程的重要性，其中包括书籍、口头讲故事、个人日记、绘画和写作。迈耶的文字的一大好处是，通过利用他自己、同事和有色人种家庭的经验，他将理论与现实生活联系起来，使它们足够易于理解，从而使各级教育工作者和图书馆员都能发现增加的价值到他们收集的专业发展书籍中。
