Résumé

This paper explores the pivotal role of multicultural children's books in fostering empathy and understanding across diverse cultures. In an increasingly globalized world, early exposure to diverse narratives allows children to engage with stories that reflect a range of cultural perspectives, helping to break down stereotypes and prejudices. By reading about characters from various backgrounds, children develop emotional intelligence and a deeper appreciation for the experiences of others. These books not only promote inclusivity but also offer a platform for marginalized voices, allowing children to see both similarities and differences in human experience. Through themes of diversity, acceptance, and shared humanity, multicultural literature plays a crucial role in shaping compassionate and open-minded individuals. The paper examines the benefits of multicultural books in enhancing empathy, discusses their educational value, and emphasizes the importance of integrating such literature into early childhood education. Ultimately, multicultural children's books serve as powerful tools in bridging cultural divides and nurturing a more harmonious, understanding society.
