Democracy in Picturebooks from Sweden and the United States,
2000-2020 explores democracy-themed picturebooks written for
children between the ages of three and ten. With multiple analyses
of picturebooks throughout the twenty-first century, the authors
illustrate how picturebooks can play a vital role in the
development of children's perceptions about the different
principles of democracy. From a holistic perspective, these books
can be seen as the starting point for socializing children who will
come to lead and participate in democratic societies themselves.
The multi-pronged approach in this research introduces: (a)
concepts underlying the role of picturebooks in familiarizing
children with concepts about democracy, (b) research methods for
picturebook analyses, (c) exploration of specific exemplar
picturebooks that address democratic principles, (d) how
picturebooks link democracy with human qualities, (e) utilizing
democracy-themed picturebooks in the home and the school. This
project holds the promise of promoting meaningful instruction of
democracy through the use of picturebooks.
