Every child is very important and very special. O children's universe, full of magic and make-believe, inspired many poems and songs in our culture, whether in literature or music. Who is not enchanted by the colorful world where children's imaginations live?
To honor the little ones, the kids school went to search in music and in literature verses that portray the beauty and innocence of children. Several poets and composers were inspired by the playful universe of children to write beautiful texts filled with metaphors and beautiful images. For you, four little poems for children. Good reading!

Children's Rights

It must be well protected
Against the rigors of time
Against the rigors of life.

Be healthy and not be hungry
Be confident and study.
It's not a question of wanting
No question of agreeing

Everyone has to respect.

Right to books and bread
Right to have toys.
But children also have
The right to smile.

Have coloring pencils...
See a shooting star,
Film that has a robot,
Get a beautiful gift,
Hear Grandfather Stories.

Ice cream, if it's hot,
Play guessing.
Strawberry with Chantilly,
See top hat magician,
The song of the good-te-vi,
Ball, ball, ball, ball!

be cheerful and chatty
You can also say no!
Cart, games, dolls,
Set up a pitching game,
Hopscotch, shuttlecocks,
And a jump rope.

Manuel Bandeira was one of our greatest writers. He wrote the poem “Menino carvoeiro” to denounce child labor
coal boys
the coal workers
They pass on their way to the city.
— Hey, carvoero!
And they play the animals with a huge pullet.
Donkeys are skinny and old.
Each one carries six bags of charcoal.
The burlap is all patched up.
Coals fall.
(A little old woman comes out of the night and picks them up, bending over with a moan.)
— Hey, carvoero!
Only these rickety children
They go well with these unrestrained donkeys.
The naive dawn seems made for them.. .
Little, naive misery!
Adorable coals who work as if you were playing!
—Hey, carvoero!
When they come back, they come biting into a blackened bread,
Perched on the animals,
betting race,
Dancing, swaying in their yokes like helpless scarecrows.
(Manuel Bandeira)
Brazilian music also has several songs dedicated to children! The children's universe always yields beautiful verses
sock ball, marble
there is a boy
there is a kid
always living in my heart
every time the adult swings
He comes to give me his hand
There is a past in my present
A very hot sun in my backyard
every time the witch haunts me
the boy gives me a hand
And tell me about beautiful things
that i believe
that will not cease to exist
friendship, word, respect
Character, kindness, joy and love
because I can't
I must not
I do not want
live like all these people
insists on living
And I can't take it easy
Any slutty thing to be normal
sock ball, marble
Solidarity doesn't want loneliness
every time the sadness overtakes me
the boy gives me a hand
there is a boy
there is a kid
always living in my heart
Every time the adult falters
He comes to give me his hand
(Milton Nascimento)
Childhood is considered the most beautiful stage in life. All this beauty is reflected in the verses of the poetry of children's literature
Point of view
I'm small, they tell me,
and I get very angry.
I have to look at everyone
with the chin up.
But if ant spoke
and see me from the ground,
I was going to say, for sure:
– Oh my, how big!
(Pedro Bandeira)
