Resumo: The main objective of the text is to analyze the representation of three female characters in short stories for children and young people, with an African theme. To this end, the book Ulomma - The House of Beauty and other tales, by the Nigerian writer Sunny and illustrated by Denise Nascimento, was chosen. It starts with the recognition of the importance of classic studies on fairy tales and children's literature, however the analysis presented assumes an Afrocentric perspective, seeking the importance of the word in African and Afro-Brazilian cultures, the role of narratives in African societies, where orality is a central element in the production and maintenance of the most diverse cultures, values, knowledge, science, history, ways of life, ways of understanding reality, religiosity, art and playfulness. The second point of analysis will be the representation of the female characters, being a block for each character. The analysis takes place both from the imagery point of view, as well as from the discursive construction via the plot of the narrative, aiming to locate in the stories the issue of female traditions and roles, motherhood, the relationships between human beings and nature, the sacred, relationships of power and mainly the black aesthetic valorization. The article ends with questions about the paths that the texts aimed at children and young people took to reach us, indicating that the need for construction and alternative routes for understanding them.

Por lo tanto, fue elegido el libro Ulomma – A casa da beleza e outros contos, del escritor nigeriano Sunny e ilustrado por Denise Nascimento. Partimos del reconocimiento de la importancia de los estudios clásicos sobre los cuentos de hadas y literatura infantil y juvenil, pero el análisis presentado asume una perspectiva afrocentrada, buscando a la importancia de la palabra en las culturas africanas, donde la oralidad es un elemento central en la producción y manutención de las diversas culturas, de los valores, conocimientos, ciencia, historia, modos de vida, formas de comprehender a la realidad, religiosidad, arte y lúdico. El segundo punto de análisis es la representación de los personajes femeninas, siendo un bloco para cada personaje. El análisis será tanto del punto de vista de las imágenes, cuanto, de la construcción discursiva vía enredo de la narrativa, objetivando localizar en los cuentos a la cuestión de las traiciones y de los papeles femeninos, la maternidad, las relaciones entre el ser humano y la naturaleza, el sagrado, relaciones del poder y principalmente a la valoración estética negra. El artigo es finalizado con   cuestionamientos sobre los caminos que los textos dirigidos al público infantil y juvenil perforaran para llegaren hasta nosotros, indicando que la necesidad de construcción y rutas alternativas para la comprehensión de estos.O texto tem como objetivo principal analisar a representação de três personagens femininas em contos destinados ao público infantil e juvenil, com temática africana.

Parte-se do reconhecimento da importância dos estudos clássicos sobre contos de fadas e literatura infantil e juvenil, todavia a análise apresentada assume uma perspectiva afrocentrada, buscando a importância da palavra nas culturas africanas e afro-brasileira, o papel das narrativas nas sociedades africanas, onde a oralidade é um elemento central na produção e manutenção das mais diversas culturas, dos valores, conhecimentos, ciência, história, modos de vida, formas de compreender a realidade, religiosidade, arte e ludicidade. O segundo ponto de análise será a representação das personagens femininas, sendo um bloco para cada personagem.
