ABSTRACT In light of the global emphasis on integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into educational systems, particularly those focused on alleviating poverty and addressing inequality, this study investigates the efficacy of picture books as a pedagogical medium for fostering critical awareness among eighth-grade students. Conducted at SMP Negeri 4 Jirak Jaya, the research uniquely combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies to assess the educational impact on a cohort of 11 students, many of whom contribute economically to their families while managing their academic responsibilities. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in students' reading comprehension, with a paired sample t-test yielding a t-value of -19.076 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating that the implementation of picture books aimed at socio-economic themes substantially enhanced literacy skills. Additionally, a motivation questionnaire demonstrated strong engagement levels amongst participants, with a grand mean score of 3.48, highlighting the motivational potential of picture book resources. Qualitative insights gathered from interviews, classroom observations, and student documentation further illuminated the transformative effects of picture books. Students articulated emotional connections to the narratives, which not only fostered resilience but also enhanced their time management skills and appreciation for family support. The stories reflected their lived experiences, thereby inspiring intrinsic motivation and aspirations for their futures. Overall, this study underscores the pivotal role that picture books can play in not only improving literacy outcomes but also in aligning classroom experiences with the principles of sustainable development, thereby equipping students with the critical awareness necessary to engage effectively with enduring social issues like poverty and inequality. Keywords: picture books, sustainable development goals, student motivation
