Abstract
This research is aimed at making a brief history of the works that have won the Jabuti Award and to reflect upon the challenges presented in app books for children, especially so that it can become an applicable alternative tool for literary education in the school environment. Among these challenges are the very materiality and evanescence of these productions, issues that are tackled based on the considerations of Hayles (2002), Antonio (2011), Corrêa (2016) and Ribeiro (2017). We will also discuss a model for insertion of digital books in Brazilian schools that has been in place since 2014, digital libraries, platforms that usually provide simpler productions, adding pedagogical solutions and reading assessment. The methodology used was exploratory with bibliographical basis, with comparative descriptions and immanent analysis of the awarded works, also considerations based on interviews with stakeholders of this market.

Based on the award-winning works in the Children’s Digital category of the Jabuti Awards (2015-2017), this article highlights some of the challenges that digital books for children face, so that they can become an alternative tool for literary education
This article presents a summarised and comparative analysis of certain characteristics of the e-book applications that won the Jabuti Award (Brazil), in the Children’s Digital category, between 2015 and 2017, and sheds light on some important aspects of interactive digital literature for children: their materiality, which directly affects the production and access/consumption of these works, and their evanescence. These issues may represent obstacles to the expansion of digital literary education in the country, whether in a domestic or school environment. It points to a new business model that has been developing in Brazil, working on bringing schools and digital literature together, namely digital libraries
