Abstract
This comparative study examines the representation of disasters in two children's plays, *One Snowy Night* and *The Storm in the Barn*, through the lens of critical disaster studies. The plays use personified disasters and fantasy elements to help children understand the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, and the environmental roles humans play in mitigating or exacerbating disaster effects. The study investigates how these plays portray natural and environmental disasters through children's eyes and their impact on children's outlook on life and the environment.
