The picturebook is the first book that children encounter in early childhood. It forms a very important part of children’s literature by which children develop love for reading and literature in general. A picturebook is often described as a bimodal medium because it consists of a visual and verbal component, an illustration and a text, which complement each other. The harmony of two expressions and the purpose of the picturebook for children and their developmental peculiarities are the conditions for the realization of all picturebook’s functions. The picturebooks offer a wide range of topics through which children acquire new knowledge, better understanding of the world and the environment, and develop creativity, curiosity, and satisfy their emotional needs. A problem picturebook is a type of picturebook that depicts topics and problem situations in which the child is mostly the central character. Problem picturebooks with artistically designed text and carefully designed illustrations show diverse situations in which children can find themselves, and with which they are not familiar ordo not know how to deal with them. Problem picturebooks thematically deal with the content that is interesting and close to children in order for children to be interested in the story and notice what problem and solution the picturebook offers. Since problem picturebooks very often talk about emotions and relationships with others, they can be used as a means to improve social and emotional skills. Socioemotional competencies are very important competencies that a child acquires through life, and their development is most influenced by the environment - family and friends. Children adopt and practice them while socializing with their friends and families, and they can also be taught through a problem picturebook. Children identify with the characters in the picturebooks, and since certain problem picturebooks talk about socioemotional competencies, children will easily internalize the socioemotional skills they noticed in the picturebooks.
