What should children and students read? This volume explores
challenging picturebooks as learning materials in early childhood
education, primary and secondary school, and even universities. It
addresses a wide range of thematic, cognitive, and aesthetic
challenges and educational affordances of picturebooks in various
languages and from different countries. Written by leading and
emerging scholars in the field of picturebook studies and literacy
research, the book discusses the impact of challenging picturebooks
in a comprehensive manner and combines theoretical considerations,
picturebook analyses, and empirical studies with children and
students. It introduces stimulating picturebooks from all
continents and how they are used or may be used in educational
settings and contexts. The chapters touch on subjects like reading
promotion, second-language acquisition, art education,
interdisciplinary learning, empathy development, minority issues,
and intercultural competence. Moreover, they consider relevant
aspects of the educational environments, such as the inclusion of
picturebooks in the curriculum, the significance of school
libraries, and the impact of publishers. Exploring Challenging
Picturebooks in Education sheds new light on the multiple
dimensions relevant to investigating the impact of picturebooks on
learning processes and the development of multimodal literacy
competencies. It thus makes a significant contribution to the
growing area of picturebook research and will be key reading for
educators, researchers, and post-graduate students in the field of
literacy studies, children's literature, and education research.
