| Description | The purpose of the paper is to study a literary text, aimed at children's readers, from the perspective of developmental psychology, especially from the theory of Erik Erikson. The paper is part of a wider doctoral research. It explores the verification of the following approach: the line of psychosocial development, the overcoming of developmental crises and the process of personal growth are quite naturally reflected in children's and youth literature. Authors of children's and youth literature reflect the needs and interests of children of a certain age and reflect the historical context and current issues. In literature we find psychological knowledge communicated through artistic language, in a highly comprehensible and attractive way. Using interpretative analysis, the paper focuses on the themes and motives we can find in children's books, studying how they correspond to the reader's level of psychosocial development, what problems and conflicts they raise and how they reflect the interests, emotions and feelings and the development of new competences of children at the age they are published for. The paper examines from the perspective of developmental psychology Marek Toman's book Cukrárna u Šilhavého Jima / Cross-eyed Jim's Patisserie (which won the ZLATÁ STUHA 2019 Children's and Youth Literature Prize of the Czech Republic) and explores what aspects of the book can inspire schoolchildren to develop their reading literacy. |
