Type: article
Abstract: Non-academic self-concept, vital for young children's self-awareness, social skills, and personality development, can be effectively nurtured through picture books.Leo Lionni's works exemplify how storylines and visual storytelling align with children's developmental needs and interests.This study explores Lionni's picture books as tools for fostering non-academic self-concept, integrating Shavelson et al.'s self-concept framework while maintaining child-centered principles.The analysis yields practical insights for supporting early self-concept formation through narrative engagement.
