Children’s books can provide opportunity for children to perceive themselves and others in many locations and storylines, but cultural subtleties and uniqueness within these stories can play an essential part in the messages that children absorb. In the article, conceptual and practical provisions of children literature’ role in shaping ethnocultural identity are analyzed. The paper proposes a model for considering B. Grinchenko’s work as a national-centric discourse through the prism of conceptual notions: interpretation of the core idea of ethnocultural rooting for the writer’s artistic thinking, understanding of populism as a worldview and aesthetic system, outlining the concept of national revival, identifying the nation-building function of children’s literature. The results of the study have a certain methodological significance for further understanding of the role of children’s literature in the formation of ethnocultural identity.
