The aim of this essay has been to find out if children can identify themselves in childrens literature describing children who have immigrated. We wanted to investigate if the interest in reading books about children who have immigrated was the same whether the investigated childrens origin was Swedish or not. We chose two books for this purpose. We also wanted to see what the access to books about children who have immigrated was at three libraries. The locations for the libraries were; in the investigated children´s school, at the main library in the municipality and at a smaller library also located in the municipality. We have used a qualitative method for this study. We interviewed sixteen children in one school and most of the empirical material for the study was collected there. We also made inquiries at the three libraries to see if they possessed the two books and if they were frequently lent. We found that there was no difference between the childrens answers depending on origin. What seemed to have bigger impact on the investigated childrens opinions of the two books were their individual experiences.
