Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku altruistik yang terwakili dalam tiga buku bergambar terpilih. Ketiga buku bergambar tersebut memiliki benang merah dalam membangun kesadaran anak untuk membantu sesama dan masuk ke dalam pembahasan perilaku altruistik. Objek penelitian ini adalah tiga buku bergambar berjudul Little Miss Mary and the Big Monster Makeover karya G.G. Toropov dan Cleone Cassidy (2008), Harold Loves His Woolly Hat karya Vern Kousky (2018), dan My Brother's Wheelchair karya Salil Chaturvedi (2019). Peneliti melakukan penelitian kualitatif dengan menelaah citra gambar dan teks yang tersedia dalam buku bergambar tersebut. Dalam melakukannya, peneliti menggunakan teori Ricard (2015) sebagai dasar hasil analisis, yang kemudian menemukan perilaku altruistik ini terkait dengan pembahasan. Dengan mencermati alur dalam cerita dan menggali pesan tersirat pengarang dalam menumbuhkan kepedulian sosial pada anak sebagai pembaca, ketiga buku bergambar ini menanamkan pemahaman untuk menolong sesama tanpa mengharap balasan dan hanya dilandasi oleh keinginan sederhana diri sendiri untuk menolong sesama tanpa pamrih.
