It begins with the idea that every literary work hides in a special way an ethical and moral dimension, capable of transforming the mental structures and attitudes of readers, in the face of situations of reality that it deals with in its aesthetic constructions, thus generating a direct relationship with the experiences within a society not far from the literary work and enriching it as a human being. It starts from the theoretical approaches of the concept of moral dilemma, passing through the construction of what we consider to be children's literature in order to interpret and value the works. The objective is to show these dimensions and the ways in which they are presented to generate a space for discussion, thinking about the ethical from the work of Rosero and the relationship with society. It is intended to provide tools for literature scholars, teachers and likewise, towards readers, where the intention is to highlight through a literary analysis in light of the transactional model the importance of Colombian children's literature and its connection with the Ethical and moral dilemmas present in the works in question, in order to derive applicable conclusions in social, family or school contexts, cooperating with critical reflection, awareness and actions that transform the world.
