Abstract :

Children's literature is any text written or composed with the help of specific technical and literary principles and content appropriate to the child's age group so that the child can communicate with it well. As a result, the works written or composed for children must follow certain technical principles. In terms of emotional and psychological aspects, they must be such that they affect the child's seeking-beauty soul and arouse his emotions and feelings. In Arabic literature, "Suleiman Al-Issa" and in Persian literature, "Mustafa Rahmandost" are among the poets who devoted a large part of their poems to children's issues and left valuable works in this field. The present research, written with a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, has investigated the manifestations of the divine and earthly nature in the children's poems of the two mentioned poets. It is concluded that both poets paid attention to phenomena such as the sky, rain, wind, sea, river, and tree in their poems and, while drawing them, also expressed some appropriate moral and educational principles for children.
