Fortune has produced four books, available on Amazon:

His award-winning book BRIDGING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP: What Successful Educators and Parents Do, was published in 2012 and recognized nationally by the National School Public Relations Association. It is available in paperback and Kindle Fire.
Fortune's new bilingual parenting books (Spanish and English), 13 PRACTICAS DE CRIANZA EN ESPANOL PARA CERRAR LA BRECHA DE RENDIMIENTO ACADEMICO and 12 PARENTING PRACTICES IN ENGLISH TO BRIDGE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP, were published in 2013 as paperbacks.
Fortune also produces companion DVDs to the parenting books in both English and Spanish.
