Özet: Implementing methodological approaches and pedagogical activities using Children’s Literature which promotes critical thinking in schools and universities is progressively becoming a priority within the Spanish Ministry of Education and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) as one of the pillars underpinning the current teacher training in Spanish higher education scenario, together with the responsibility of local Elementary Schools to educate critical citizens. Therefore, lecturers and researchers are encouraged to link the content of Children’s Literature books to some modules in the undergraduate students’ degrees such as English Studies Degree and Teacher Training, providing a reflective framework that promotes the emancipation and introducing brand new topics that require pushing the boundaries outside the comfort zone and applying critical thinking and other related cross-curricular competences in the learning process of our students. This paper represents the selection of two picture books: Walking to School (2008) by Eve Bunting and illustrated by Michael Dooling and The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (2007) by Peter Sís, in order to design tasks and relevant learning environments that focus on certain learning affordances while raising awareness in the main topics of Across the Borders Literature.
