AB The present study aims at analysing how the taboo topic of sexuality is metaphorically construed in children literature, particularly in picture books. Based on a corpus of nine picture books dealing with sexual education, a case-study has been conducted in which both visual and verbal cues have been analysed. In this multimodal analysis, not only metaphor but also image schemas and metonymy have been taken into account as they play a major role in metaphorical activation. This approach relies on the concept of frames rather than conceptual domains, as frames additionally account for aspects including evaluation and agency. This dissertation presents how the basic aspects of sexuality are metaphorically conceptualised, and how these are generally represented by means of pervasive frames in the chosen texts.
