There are many books on raising bilingual children that a quick internet search will reveal. I personally found the following insightful:
Baker, Colin (2014). A parents' and teachers' guide to bilingualism. 4th edition. Bristol, UK: Multilingual Matters.
This book is written in a question-answer format, it's straightforward and contains lots of well-researched information.
Zurer Pearson, Barbara (2008). Raising a bilingual child: A step-by-step guide for parents. New York, USA: Living Language (Random House).
King, Kendall & Alison Mackey (2007). The bilingual edge: Why, when, and how to teach your child a second language. New York, NY, USA: Collings Living.
Wang, Xiao-lei (2008). Growing up with three languages: Birth to eleven. Bristol, UK: Multilingual Matters.
This book is a detailed account of growing up trilingual, written by a researcher about her two trilingual children.
Wang, Xiao-lei (2011). Learning to read and write in the multilingual family. Bristol, UK: Multilingual Matters.
