This contribution, which explores the use of children’s literature to develop students’ creativity, has two goals that involve describing observed activities to identify the originality of albums and engage students in creative activities triggered by literary networks. The criteria for analysis used are the creativity competencies of OECD (Vincent-Lancrin et al., 2020) and Lucas (2016) for creativity, and those Anstey and Bull (2018) associate with postmodern albums for originality of works. The type of network, the album involved, the cycle observed, the disciplines integrated, and the type of activity (metatextual or hypertextual) are other descriptors central to the analysis. From the 18 observations, it appears that metatextual activities – mainly observed to bring students into contact with the originality of the albums – and hypertextual activities – mainly observed during creative activities – are interesting for developing their creativity.
