Eso le pasó a un amigo en un reino lejano: ¿Por qué y para qué datos incómodos y polémicos en los libros para niños?

Abstract

Realistic children’s literature published in Latin America in the last thirty years allows us to see how the author transfers sensitive and complex information to the young reader. This article aims to present some of the reasons of this issue and the way the author approaches a potential reader. The first two parts provide general information about current children’s literature and the last one introduces some specific examples related to this topic in Colombian books published in the 21st century
