In my diploma, I will focus on the topic of acceptance, as I believe that it is crucial for children and adults with special needs to have access to the books that interest them. In the kindergarten, workers often use books as it’s simpler to teach children tough topics that are the part of our lives. Firstly I will present youth literature in Slovenia and then in Spain, I will describe the picture book and illustrations in detail, and then I will focus on acceptance of the different, and how this is pictured in the books, present special needs and how the curriculum differs and briefly describe the development of speech and language disorders that occur most often. At the end, I will present the Malinc publishing house and strategies to motivate reading. In the empirical part, I will analyze four works by the specialized publishing house Malinc, which include the theme of difference, namely Usoa, you came as a bird (2012), Slon ptičjesrčni (2013), Družinska skrivnost (2015) and Šlik Šlak (2019). I’m interested, if the books are appropriate for the kindergarten and how the difference is presented.
