Two questions framed a critical content analysis and critical visual discourse analysis approach: “What educative experiences do characters have in award-winning picture books?” and “To what extent are these experiences valuable and useful?” Using John Dewey’s theory of education, this article analyzed 132 picture books that received a Caldecott, Choice Book, or Jane Addams award between from 2008 to 2017. This article more closely analyzed books that in which characters had educative and mis-educative experiences. Findings indicate that educative experiences arise from significant experiences, and characters’ experiences carry positive messages but are miseducative. Identification of educative experiences supports educators’ approaches to reading award-winning children’s literature, identifying significant experiences, and understanding how these experiences become critical and democratic approaches to children’s learning.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={1}, journal={FIRE: Futuristic Implementations of Research in Education}, author={Albers, Peggy and Angay-Crowder, Tuba and Collier, Caleb and Fujimoto, Cindy and Pang, Myoung E. and Park, Jee Hye}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={2-12} }
