Three literary works were analyzed using the textual configuration analysis method proposed by Mortatti (2000).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The selected books reveal a strong potential to stimulate critical thinking and reflective dialogue on environmental issues with children aged 5 to 10. Symbolic and poetic narratives foster empathy, imagination, and ecological awareness, confirming literature as an effective interdisciplinary educational tool.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Children’s and young adult literature, when integrated with Freire’s liberating pedagogy, becomes a powerful tool for shaping critical individuals who are aware of their role in planetary sustainability. In light of this, the study highlights the need for continued research through empirical investigations in school contexts, in order to deepen the analysis of pedagogical practices that integrate literature and critical environmental education.</p> Lucas Trentin, Rosane Michelli de Castro Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Docent Discunt https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://revistas.unasp.edu.br/rdd/article/view/1964 Wed, 11 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0300
