Abstract:This article explores how a shared reading of a challenging picturebook about war, Når kaniner blir redde [When Rabbits Get Scared] (Svingen and Slocinska), may foster students' critical and emotional literacy. The research question is: How may a shared reading of this challenging picturebook about war promote critical and emotional literacy in 10-year-old students? According to Martha Nussbaum, developing students' narrative imaginations through stories is a prerequisite for educating responsible citizens (Nussbaum Cultivating Humanity; Nussbaum Not for Profit). Picturebooks can be a tool for such education. The data were collected in an intervention project and the authors present the findings from student group interviews by identifying characteristics of critical and emotional literacy. The analysis demonstrates that a shared picturebook reading of this book may foster the students as responsible actors by promoting their ability to see the world from other people's perspectives and ignite critical, independent voices in them.
摘要:本文探讨了共同阅读一本具有挑战性的关于战争的绘本,《当兔子被吓到》(singen和Slocinska)如何培养学生的批判和情感素养。研究的问题是:共同阅读这本关于战争的具有挑战性的绘本如何能提高10岁学生的批判性和情感素养?根据玛莎·努斯鲍姆的观点,通过故事培养学生的叙事想象力是教育负责任的公民的先决条件(努斯鲍姆培育人性;努斯鲍姆(Not for Profit)。绘本可以成为这种教育的工具。这些数据是在一个干预项目中收集的,作者通过识别批判性和情感素养的特征,展示了学生小组访谈的结果。分析表明,通过分享这本书的绘本阅读,可以促进学生从他人的角度看待世界的能力,并激发他们批判性的、独立的声音,从而培养他们成为负责任的行动者。

Reina Nakano国际青年图书馆Mitsumasa Anno(1926–2020)最著名的作品是他的“Tabi no ehon”(Anno的旅程)系列,但Hiromatsu评论了1976年出版的“Akeruna”(不要打开)。根据Hiromatsu的说法,它的概念远远超前于时代,因为它自相矛盾的标题让读者质疑什么是图画书。Hiromtsu在仔细研究的基础上,向每本图画书介绍了它的创作背景、插画师的艺术生涯信息、灵感来源、意图、技术以及他们对生活和生活的想法

The subject of Lykke GaunioUluru’s contribution is the vegetables in Terry Trenton’s book “The 52-Storey Treehouse’ from the popular “Treehouse’ series. Francesca Arnavas explores eccentric plant species in Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” novels. Melanie Duckworth looks at “trees and mothers” in Australian middle-grade literature. Jose Monfred sheds light on the “Vegetal Modality of Resistance in Children’s Books by/for Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines”, while Tijana Tropin and Ivana Mijić Nemet provide insight into magical plants in Serbian children’s literature, which was previously little known internationally. One of the volume’s great merits is its heterogeneity and the often original subject matter of the essays. Despite their mostly narrow focus, the in-depth explorations undertaken by the contributors are very readable and comprehensible, even without a more detailed knowledge of the works and their context. The volume provides the opportunity to discover something truly new and offer insights that can be applied to other authors, works, literatures, or contexts. It invites readers to develop this little-explored field of research and to engage in more international exchange. An international conference would be desirable. In any case, one can conclude after reading the volume: More, please!

Furthermore, eating is most successfully connected to reading when the reading material is literally edible. In the past, the gingerbread hornbook became the delicious reward for learning the alphabet, while alphabet soups have always been both a tasty dinner and a language lesson. Now, technology permits appetizing combinations of food and literature (for example, sweet haikus written in marmalade on bread slices), so taste is added to the reading experience establishing lifelong reading habits. Consumable Reading and Children’s Literature by Ilgim Veryeri Alaca opens up delectable new ways of viewing picturebooks, eating, and reading.

Abstract:In South Korea, remnants of the Korean War are everywhere, especially at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the 160-mile strip separating the two Koreas. The DMZ is a paradox: a site of intense militarism and great biodiversity, virtually untouched over decades of division. Inspired by Sohyun An's research on how American and international children's books portray the Korean War, we examine how South Korean picture books portray the paradox of the DMZ, specifically how it exists and what its future might be. We analyze five picture books alongside our observations at a DMZ peace park and war museum, and consider how these books contribute to what South Korean children might learn about division and war, the DMZ, and the complexities of unification and commercialization.

Abstract:Literature for children plays an active role in the promotion of a culture of peace. This is particularly true of children's literature in the format of a child-written diary that describes the traumatic events of war. Using the testimonial response method, this article analyses three war diaries written by young girls, two from Bosnia and one from Singapore, published in English language for young readers. By bearing witness to the lived experiences of individuals who have encountered significant hardship, readers can cultivate an empathetic understanding of historical events and the human capacity for resilience. The analysis also explores how first-person literary narratives, while representative of the trauma of war, can also be used to promote and teach about the importance of peace by making sense of history, bearing witness to traumatic emotions, and empowering the youth to seek peace.
