Abstract
: This article brings reflections on antiracist practices through the presentation of African and Afro-Brazilian cultural artifacts to children in Early Childhood Education, pointing out the book as an important artifact that enables this work. The discussion about children's literature, that presents aesthetic-literary quality based on the representation of Brazilian ethno-racial diversity positively, has theoretical support in authors such as: Araujo (2020), Debus (2017), Pereira (2019), among others. By discussing literature as a cultural artifact, it can be stated that it strengthens an antiracist environment, contributing for black children to feel represented, raising self-esteem and for white children to recognize and value the difference, breaking with the structures of normative whiteness.
