Following this line of thought, the main aim of this paper is to present a proposal for exploring the book Under the Same Moon, by Jimmy Liao, reflecting on ways to explore illustration paths in educational contexts, fostering peace education. The theoretical framework of the paper draws from: i) the potential of children’s literature to increase aesthetic sensibility, by investing on the peritextual apparatus; ii) international recommendations and national guidelines concerning peace education. In line with this, methodologically, the focus is put on the peculiarities of peritexts and their importance to nurture attention to detail in future teachers educational practices, and special attention is given to illustrations, with an emphasis on their multifaceted nature. The proposal suggested on the basis of the book selected highlights the importance of including ways of exploring the illustrations which, having a preponderant role in the development of the narrative, contribute to enhancing understanding of peace. In this sense, the proposal can be seen as a viable option for the implementation and development of educational practices by future teachers with their future audience.N/ATeacher trainingPicturebookIllustrationEducation for peaceconference paper2026-04-15cv-prod-4613891
