Windows on a changing world
using children's literature as an aesth/ethical trope in early years education for sustainability
Dawn L. Sanders
pp. 127-136
This chapter is an exploration of the opportunities afforded children's imaginations by three books. It constitutes a teacher's situated reflection on how the heterotopic "nowhere and here" of children's literature can be a metaphorical window onto 'something or somewhere else" in the context of environmental sustainability. Children's stories are reflected on as points of departure from which to consider an "aesth/ethical" trope between humans, more-than-humans and material matter in order to engage with 'sympathetic imagination".
