Abstract

Childhood is the foundation of everyone's life. It is quite necessary that children are guided properly in this phase. The thoughts sown in the minds of children help them to lead their life in a great way. So, these good thoughts should be taught to them through subject matters that interest them. Children's Literature does the exact same thing. Children's songs that are composed with simplicity and musicality attract them and amuse them greatly. Children's Poet Azha. Valliyappa has contributed many poems, short stories, dramas and novels to Children's Literature. Children are his exclusive audience. Writing for children is an art. Whatever a child listens to, reads and writes are registered in her mind and it has a long-lasting impression because there are no worries for children. Their minds are as fresh as a clean slate and whatever is written on it is well learnt by them. What they learn help them grow into matured people. A sword meant for warfare can't be used to sharpen a pencil. Similarly, any advice that is forcefully instructed to anyone can never bring fruitful results. Azha. Valliyappa has clearly understood it and he has given children many rational thoughts in a language that can be easily understood by them.
