The Educational Effects of War Narratives in Children's Literature

This study examines how children’s war literature promotes learners’ intellectual, emotional, and ethical development beyond recounting past violence. Focusing on Sook Nyul Choi’s Year of Impossible Goodbyes, Linda Sue Park’s A Long Walk to Water, Thanhhà Lại’s Inside Out & Back Again, and Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, it analyzes child narrators’ use of hybrid “factional” strategies that blend fact and fiction, categorized as autobiographical, intersecting, formal, and transcendent. The study investigates narrative techniques such as sensory immersion, emotional modulation, trauma’s unspeakability, and resistance, emphasizing their role in shaping emotional regulation and ethical awareness. It also explores how multimodal adaptations extend literary learning across sensory domains. Finally, it proposes an Understanding–Reflection–Action (U–R–A) model that conceptualizes the pedagogical progression from historical understanding to ethical reflection and linguistic or civic practice.
