The present work aims to analyze how the representation of the black character is worked on
in children's literature at the Mariano Morais Municipal School, located in the rural area of the
city of Nazaré-TO. The interest in research arose after taking Afro-Brazilian education and
culture, Education and Multiculturalism, Literature and ethnic-racial relations in schools and
the History of Brazilian Education courses in the Pedagogy course, which discussed the
ethnic-racial theme and Law 10.639/03. I start from the qualitative methodology and method
of bibliographic research and field research in the analysis of children's literature, in carrying
out conversations and observations in the school unit. The relational contact with the
researched school took place through the intervention of teachers who work in early
childhood education, narrating about the didactics and methodologies that the school uses in
ethnic-racial discussions. The research showed that the representation of the black character in
children's literature worked by early childhood teachers are represented by positive images,
outlining the cultural specificities of Afro-Brazilian culture, despite some misrepresentations
that are reproduced in books.
