Developing Children's Creativity Through Literature

"Where do all these ideas come from?" she had been asked. But she didn't know what specific answer to give. So she decided to set out in search of answers. How do we acquire this creativity? Is it innate? Is it a skill? Can it be developed? How? These are the questions the author asked herself, leading to this reflective work, which offers some answers based on findings illustrated by field experiments conducted in preschool. To this end, Kateline Babet chose one of her passions as her test subject: literature, and more specifically, children's literature. Having been exposed to children's literature from a very young age, she hypothesizes that there is a link between this early exposure-and the love of stories that grew from it-and her creativity. This informative book invites both teachers and parents to reflect on their approach to the joy of reading and listening to stories.
