Recent studies show the inclusive potential of children’s literature, not only in the themes proposed but also due to the access to the language it allows. In this way, children’s literature contributes to that ideal of inclusion understood in a broad sense that characterizes the Italian context of special education. Through the analysis of exploratory cases conducted in different territorial contexts with which the University found itself collaborating, in this contribution we aim to reflect on the potential that children’s literature can also have in the context of the third mission, above all encouraging the building of alliances and communities aimed at working together and reflecting on practices, including particular subjects and actors.
