AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO CONTO DE FADAS O PATINHO FEIO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

The article shows a contribution on the work “The ugly duckling”, by Hans Christian Andersen in early childhood education. The tale will be studied from a comparative analysis looking for the use to exemplify the acceptance and respect of differences. Working with diversity in all its aspects, respecting differences and accepting what is different and outside the so-called normal standards must be started from an early age, it becomes relevant and necessary so that the child can learn to deal with it, to reflect and accept points that refer to racial discrimination and ethnic diversity. The article was carried out through basic research, bibliographic research and comparative method. From this brief study, we conclude that reading, telling stories and listening to fairy tales are not passive actions, but forms that offer countless opportunities to work with children in early childhood education. In this sense, it is important to highlight that literature uses imagination to demonstrate the truth. Keywords: Fairy tale; Children's literature; The ugly duck.
