The objective of this study is to reveal the potential of Children's Literature in thedevelopment of critical thinking skills, as well as to promote an intercultural dialogue. Today,as multicultural populations grow in schools, it is vital to reflect on this topic and find platformsof understanding and cooperation. Are schools prepared for this challenge? What isthe potential of Children's Literature to promote an intercultural education? The questionsraised guide the research and create opportunities to reflect on critical intercultural educationalstrategies regarding to Children's Literature. This study follows a qualitative and criticalapproach. After performing bibliographic research on the topic, there was an in-depth readingand cross-critical analysis, in dialogue with different authors and interpretative currents.Based on a properly and supported framework, we have developed a critical reading of UglyDuckling, by Hans Christian Andersen, and The Mysterious Eggs, by Luisa Ducla Soares andManuela Bacelar. The selected tales confront divergent ideological and educational paradigms.They allow for the deconstruction of monocultural discourses and practices as they fightagainst discriminatory attitudes and cooperate in building positive attitudes.
