Abstract

The text is a reflection on the meaning of the beauty contained in the books of inclusive children's literature:  Sabrina:  a menina albina, by the author Celina Bezerra; Pedrinho: o menino albino of Patrícia Prado and A menina sem cor, by Fernanda Emediato. For this, we use some taunts related to beauty, contained in the book: O fantástico mistério de Feiurinha, by Pedro Bandeira. We aim to present to new researchers alternative possibilities of looking at beauty in reference to albino children. In a world marked by diversity, there is no single beauty, but several. Albino people are white with light-colored eyes, but in the context of the media are discriminated against and marginalized. Methodologically, we conduct a qualitative analysis of the content of books in order to reflect upon subjective aspects and social phenomena related to albino people and the way they live in a world marked by prejudice. This work represents the desire to insert the themes of albinism into academic discussions, contributing to an extension of knowledge of the albino cause, in education, in health and to arouse interest in knowing who albino people are, in order to soften or extinguish prejudice against these "white people".
