Abstract
The present work intends to study the creation process of the Brazilian poetry for children, through the relationship between the poet´s work and the children´s playing process. For this purpose, poems for children by Jose Paulo Paes, born in Sao Paulo, were analyzed.. From the innovations brought by Brazilian modernism, we pointed out the main characteristics that influenced Jose Paulo Paes’ work for children. In order to study the creation process of Jose Paulo Paes’ children’s poetry, we opted to analyze the four main elements required for the making of a poem: sound, form, language and image. Through the analysis of Jose Paulo Paes’ work for children in view of these four elements, we can perceive similarities between the poet’s work and the children’s act of playing and how many times the reader has to act as a detective or a creator to recreate meaningns and find his own role in the game.
