BELMIRO, Celia Abicalil. Narrativa literária: suporte para a infância, texto para a juventude. Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.03, pp.843-868. ISSN 0102-5473.

Contemporary children’s literature is based on a tripod composed of text, image and support format to base the construction of the narrative. Nevertheless, these elements can also belie or transform the profile of works considered part of the canon for children, revealing the arbitrary nature of this model. Narratives that explore verbal and visual text aimed at youth readers and that maintain the format of a children’s book indicate that adolescent readers use multiple and simultaneous languages. This study analyzes key elements of narrative in the book Nenhum peixe aonde ir, by French-Canadian author Marie-Francine Hébert, with illustrations by Janice Nadeau. The theme of war, from the perspective of the child and under a strong presence of enunciation, allows different layers of reading and comprehension. At the same time, uses of images, typefaces and layout, which in the past indicated a book was aimed at child readers, today contemplate a variety of readers of different publics and ages. The work As margens da alegria by Guimarães Rosa, with illustrations by Nelson Cruz, strives to counter some specificities of visual composition and text. Artistic categories (surface, image) and those from reading theory (model-reader, presupposition) help to understand this phenomenon  that has become a model of literacy: the children’s book. In this way, the concept of youth and reading for youth have been re-evaluated to include other forms of text and literature.
