Abstract

Children’s literature helps young readers understand death through narratives adapted to their sensitivity. This study examines picture books on grief through ethos (narrator’s credibility), pathos (expression of emotions), and logos (rational explanation). Books such as La Croûte (2009) and Au revoir Maman (2016) allow children to verbalize their grief and comprehend life’s cycle. These works promote
resilience and intergenerational dialogue, transforming a taboo subject into a space for learning and support.
