In the contemporary scene of children's and young people's literature, there have been many and constant transformations in the procedures for production, reception and circulation of works. Concerning aesthetic configurations, it is not uncommon for writers, in their creations, to choose discursive strategies in which textual self-awareness is present. The bibliography of writer Gloria Kirinus is full of examples that use this method, especially through self-reflexivity, verbal playfulness and metalanguage, as happens in Um barco em meu nome. It is considering this that we propose a reading of the Kirinus’ aforementioned book, highlighting how metalinguistic-literary procedures appear in it and how a human component is associated with them that links the use of certain scriptural devices to forms of representation and self-discovery of childhood. Our reflections are based on authors such as Chalhub (1986), Coelho (2000), Félix and Franca (2018), Kirinus (2004, 2010, 2021), Koryrowski (2008), Lajolo and Zilberman (2007), Pignatari (2011), Souza (2016) and others.
