Analysis indicates that the presence, in the specific case of children’s literature in the qualification of educators, is still insufficient and vulnerable to the inside curricular structure. It is crucial to introduce literature as a means to proportionate to the teacher in their initial formal education a theoretical and practical experience about teaching with the intention of contributing to their action as a future literature mediator.
