Illustrated children's stories play a crucial role in child development by connecting them with narratives and emphasizing the importance of subject information, structure, styles, and the target audience. The objective of this work is to create an illustrated story to inform 6 to 7-year-old children about the symptoms of childhood depression using the inductive-deductive method. To achieve this, bibliographic research, and interviews with professionals in child psychology, educational pedagogy, and parents of children diagnosed with depression were conducted. Through this process, symptoms were identified and classified in children aged 6 and 7 based on similarity and recurrence. Script development was supported by specific questionnaires, adopting a preventive approach and basic language for child comprehension. Additionally, observation sheets analyzed social-emotional stories for 6 to 7-year-olds, guiding the selection of a suitable graphic style. The story's basic structure adapts to current trends in the illustrated story format, adjusting graphic elements according to the required tone of each scene.
