AB  - This author would like to share the conclusions of her investigation on 
award-winning children's books by SPA / RTP in the category of "Best 
Children and Youth Book", which aimed to analyse gender stereotypes in 
these books and inquire about the presence of gender concerns in the 
requirements underlying their selection (Nunes, 2017). The conclusions 
were in agreement with other international studies (Hamilton et al, 2006), 
revealing a female underrepresentation and other gender inequalities in 
dimensions such as hobbies, leisure time and household tasks, where rest 
and "doing nothing" periods of the male characters contrast with the 
cooking and cleaning chores of the female characters. Assuming that there 
is no such thing as a “bad book” when it comes to relying on it to address 
gender equality, this takes us to the important role of mediation, at its 
different levels. Present from birth, or even before that, in the womb, books 
are a privileged vehicle to learn about the world and about ourselves. In 
their many teachings, books transmit values and ideologies, such as gender 
and power relations, educating about men and women, who they are and 
what they can do. Books can be important allies in different educational 
contexts and it is imperative that we reflect on their contribution and also 
the important role of the different mediators such as parents (Deloache, 
Cassidy and Carpenter, 1987), educators, storytellers/ 
publishers/designers/authors/illustrators to use them to display diverse 
role-models, challenge gender stereotypes and highlight the conquests we 
have had in gender equality matters.
