| Résumé anglais |
This article explores the representation of insects in Latin American children's literature, highlighting their complexity and the central role they play in these narratives, in contrast to European traditions, where they often hold secondary or negative roles. Influenced by Indigenous worldviews, these stories assign insects profound ecological, spiritual, and cultural significance, connecting the natural world with the human one. Through the analysis of works such as La Cochinilla Cloqui, El jardín de la abuela Lisa, Siete millones de escarabajos, and La Cucarachita Martina, the article demonstrates how insects become symbols of resilience, cooperation, and transformation, challenging traditional hierarchies in the natural world. The article examines how these stories educate readers on the importance of biodiversity and conservation, while also imparting social values such as self-acceptance, cooperation, and resilience. These narratives not only serve as tools for environmental education but also promote cultural understanding and social inclusion. Finally, the article nuances the relevance of these stories in modern education and their alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging their broader integration into educational programs.
