Abstract

This text aims to present an analysis of three picturebooks from different countries (Portugal, Brazil and France) that have in common the depiction of the variety of the world, in terms of geographic and cultural diversity. We intend to propose reading activities that can be performed with children of the 1st cycle of Primary Education (Portugal) and first segment of Primary Education (Brazil), with a view to promoting intercultural awareness. By presenting a non-traditional narrative structure, the three picturebooks under analysis configure a typology that includes aspects of the portfolio picturebook (RAMOS, 2011), and of the book-game (SILVA, 2017; 2016), challenging readers to do combine different kinds of information. Built around the topic of variety and diversity in the world, understood as a global space shared by humanity, they are forms of appreciation of plurality and difference, inviting the discovery of other spaces and cultures.
