Abstract

This research is aimed at making a brief history of the works that have won the Jabuti  Award and to reflect upon the challenges presented in app books for children, especially so that it can become an applicable alternative tool for literary education in the school environment. Among these challenges are the very materiality and evanescence of these productions, issues that are tackled based on the considerations of Hayles (2002), Antonio (2011), Corrêa (2016) and Ribeiro (2017). We will also discuss a model for insertion of digital books in Brazilian schools that has been in place since 2014, digital libraries, platforms that usually provide simpler productions, adding pedagogical solutions and reading assessment. The methodology used was exploratory with bibliographical basis, with comparative descriptions and immanent analysis of the awarded works, also considerations based on interviews with stakeholders of this market.
