The author, in her paper, presents narrative forms of children’s literature and ways of using them in institutional settings with groups of school-age children. She mentions the project “Libri senza parole destinazione Lampedusa”, organized by IBBY (the International Board on Books for Young People), the Scaffale d’Arte at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, and Debora Soria, which uses selected silent books to welcome migrants of all ages. The author quotes Maurice Sendak, an artist who made history in children’s literature, and his masterpiece, Where the Wild Things Are. The author emphasizes the importance of editorial quality, which, in the case of linguistic and iconographic texts, is expressed through language that is precise, literary and rich in meaning. The text mentions contemporary children’s authors and illustrators whose stylistic signature and content are universally recognized and representative of formal research. The author mentions the importance of beauty as a way of teaching sensitivity, citing the views of Calvino, Campo, Brodskij and developing a reflection on reading as a precious and fundamental educational enrichment.

Keywords: Fields of Relationship, children’s literature, silent books, beauty, precision.
