Abstract

Children & youth Childrens literature Cultural differences Cultural identity Illustrations Learning Preschool children Preschool education Society Spirituality
Children's literature is a powerful resource that teachers can use to help children enjoy their known world and then travel beyond to explore the unfamiliar. [...] an appropriate selection of children's stories should be part of the socio-cultural constructivist repertoire of early childhood educators.
