Ecocritical Study “Kemana Tomat Pergi” from Indonesia and “The Tooth Fairies & Cleaning Factory” from England

---

The purpose of this study is to identify the human-nature relationship as reflected in the picture books from Indonesia “Kemana Tomat Pergi” and from England “The Tooth Fairies and Cleaning Factory”. This study used a descriptive gualitative method. The researcher employs ecocritical theory, particularly Cheryl! Glotfelty's theory and Keraf's supporting theory, to examine how humans and nature are depicted in two picture books. The findings of this research indicate that there are two types of relationships between human and nature, consisting of good and bad relations. In Indonesia, the picture book focuses on the relationship between Kirin and her tomatoes, while the picture book from England focuses on the relationship between the little tooth fairy (non-human) and Junior (human) and how humans it self treat nature. Researcher also found that humans in Indonesian picture books began to have the awareness to struggle to maintain the balance of nature. In contrast, the picture book from England caused enormous damage to nature. In conclusion, the researcher found that picture books from Indonesia and from England are picture books that are useful in building children's awareness of the natural environment that is important for life today.
