Abstract
This chapter is an exploration of the opportunities afforded children’s imaginations by three books. It constitutes a teacher’s situated reflection on how the heterotopic “nowhere and here” of children’s literature can be a metaphorical window onto “something or somewhere else” in the context of environmental sustainability. Children’s stories are reflected on as points of departure from which to consider an “aesth/ethical” trope between humans, more-than-humans and material matter in order to engage with “sympathetic imagination”.
