Se você vier para a terra: um passeio científico pela obra de Sophie Blackall.

Abstract

This descriptive-explanatory article of a qualitative nature aims to propose literary books for use in didactic sequences involving scientific concepts. The proposed activity considered the book If you come to earth by Sophie Blackall, published by FTD. The methodological design is based on Solé (1998) with a cognitive-constructivist reading perspective and on Chambers (2023) with the three levels of questioning in the "Tell Me" methodology. The theoretical foundation is based on the understanding of literature as an art form that creates an aesthetic experience, provides different emotions to the reader, and opens space for subjectivity. The literary work was chosen because it is a contemporary illustrated book that, according to Salisbury and Styles (2013), is an art form dedicated to children and presents more demanding yet respectful themes regarding the reading abilities of its audience. The work is essentially dialogical, as the author invites children to a conversation full of details about Planet Earth, its diversity, and evolution.
