Abstract

The formation of a child's character at an early age is a gradual process that does not happen quickly, but is influenced by various factors both inside and outside the child. Internal factors include the child's biological condition and psychological aspects, while external factors include the influence of the family environment, the education system, the culture embraced, the media accessed, and social interactions. These characteristics are formed through learning, absorption, and intense interaction with the environment. Basically, character is a relatively stable moral and ethical quality in an individual and is realized in daily behavior based on religious, legal, cultural, and social norms. The purpose of this study is to understand the formation of children's characteristics from an early age in the storybook Naik-Naik ke Puncak Gunung (Climbing to the Top of the Mountain) by Sarah Fauzia and Alima Nufus. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques through reading and note-taking. The results of the study are to understand that each child has different characteristics, including being a reliable imitator, having curiosity, and having uniqueness.
