Abstract

This research aimed to identify trends in the editorial production of children's books, with regard to literature, illustration, graphic design, aesthetic elements and historical, cultural and political aspects, through children's books with the seal “Highly Recommended”, in the Children and Translation/Adaptation for Children Categories, of the Annual Award of the National Foundation for Children's and Young People's Books (FNLIJ), in the years 2020, 2021 and 2022. As an investigative strategy, Bibliographic Research was used, associated with Document Analysis. The theoretical basis was based on the concepts of Book, Reading, Literature, Children's Literature, Aesthetics, Reading, Children and Childhood and the analysis procedures took place in documents such as: regulations, lists of results, old reports, interviews, books, statutes and research reports. Data collection from the books analyzed took place using the Records Instrument for Analysis of Books for children (own authorship). From the results obtained, technological investment was identified that provides structural diversity in graphic projects, the presence of both written and visual language, the complexity in reading these books, the use of the word literature as a mere commercial purpose, the influence of the FNLIJ on the book lists of the public purchasing and distribution policies of the Ministry of Education (MEC) and on the Brazilian children's book publishing industry, the geographic composition of readers - FNLIJ voters with little representation of experts from the Amazon, the little presence Children's Literature as a field of study in Literature degree courses. In this way, the research suggests the fight to guarantee the right to access and read books with the “Highly Recommended” seal, in addition to those awarded, to all public schools of Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education, the appropriate use of the word “literature” in the identification of books for children, the creation of subjects in the Children's Literature field of study in the Literature Degree Course, formalization of the partnership between FNLIJ and Lelit/Ufopa, in addition to greater representation of voting readers from other regions of the country.
