With Frankness on Wars?
With Frankness on Wars?

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the question of ethics in war circumstances as portrayed in two picturebooks: The Enemy by Davide Cali and Serge Bloch, and I will not by Naila Farouky and Ora Eitan. Aiming to prove that there are some children’s books capable of tackling complex moral issues, it looks at the underlying attitudes (for instance, the implied concept of the child reader) and artistic devices employed in these books (such as irony, conceit, rhetoric), which allowed the artists to talk about challenging issues with conviction, frankness, and most importantly, with moral insight.
