This article discusses the potential of voice in digital children’s literature in terms of what it adds to the experience of listening to stories by children and young people. The article presents the results of the analysis of the way in which the voice is used, in seven digital narratives for children, as a semiotic resource capable of producing meaning effects such as humor, affectivity, immersion, among others. The corpus of analysis is composed of Brazilian and international productions, and the theoretical foundation that supports the reflections is based on the studies of Walter Ong, Frédéric Barbier and Roger Chartier on orality, written culture and digital culture; in Gunther Kress’ studies on multimodality; and in Paul Zumthor’s studies on the poetic word. The analysis reveals that digital children’s literature brings up aspects of the narrative tradition and also promotes ruptures in this tradition by converting the voice into a semiotic resource that makes up the literary work, which becomes multimodal and interactive.

Keywords : digital children´s literature; orality; digital culture.
