The paper focuses on the problematic theme of war in the picture books by the author Lucija Stepančič and the illustrator Damijan Stepančič Anton! and Arsenije!, namely from the point of view of cross-border didactics of literature at the elementary school level. From the point of view of the emotional turn in literary science, we highlight the emotional elements both in the textual part of the picture book and in the illustrations. Based on the CoBLaLT model, the article proposes the activities of two cross-border classes, who, while studying the aforementioned picture books, get to know each other's language, and above all, experience the complex history of the place where they live. In our presentation we show the possibilities of the CoBlaLT model for the second language teaching and learning in multilingual and intercultural education in multilingual border areas. We analyse the implementation of the model in the primary schools near the Slovenian-Italian border that use the possibilities of shared virtual classrooms and live meetings to experience literature together.
