REPRESENTAÇÕES DA DIVERSIDADE FAMILIAR NA LITERATURA INFANTIL: ENTRAVES E POTENCIALIDADES PARA A ALFABETIZAÇÃO

This study explores how different family structures have been represented in children's literature, aiming to identify and discuss the various forms of family presented in five literary works, as well as to investigate how these representations might influence children's perceptions of family plurality. Methodologically, we conducted a descriptive-exploratory literature review, with an emphasis on content and semiotic analysis. The study discussed how these representations could contribute to literacy and empathy from early childhood, contrasting with the resistance faced in incorporating these themes into the school environment. Based on these analyses, a proposal for an educational product emerged to fill gaps in pedagogical practice and promote a more sensitive education connected to the contemporary realities of children. In this way, children's literature has offered a valuable and inclusive perspective on the multiple family formats, playing a crucial role in children's socio-emotional education.
