The results of this study indicate that the internalization of Aswaja characters such as 1) religious character values; 2) democratic character values; 3) the value of the character of love for the homeland; 4) fair character values; 5) the value of disciplined character; 6) independent character values; and 7) the value of the character of tolerance, which can be applied through children's literature, especially in literary works in the form of stories using the storytelling method.
