Prepoznavanje različnih čustev skozi branje otroške in mladinske književnosti

This article presents the development of children and young adults from a psychological, ethical, and literary aspect because emotions are a distinctively interdisciplinary topic. Different emotions or combinations of multiple emotions, often opposing (e.g., joy and sadness, love and hate, or fear and courage), appear in contemporary children’s and young adult literature. Examples of highquality literary works are presented, in which emotions are an important theme and which belong to a variety of genres.
