Contemporary children's writers

Grigory Bentsionovich Oster

A children's writer, from whose works adults can learn a lot of interesting things. He was born in Odessa, served in the navy, his life is still very active: he is a presenter, a talented author, and a cartoon screenwriter. “Monkeys”, “A Kitten Named Woof”, “38 Parrots”, “Caught That Bitten” - all these cartoons were filmed according to his script, and “Bad Advice” is a book that has gained enormous popularity.

Eduard Nikolaevich Uspensky

From childhood, Eduard Uspensky was a leader, participated in KVN, organized skit parties, then he first tried his hand at being a writer, and later began writing plays for children's radio programs, children's theaters, and dreamed of creating his own magazine for children. The writer became famous thanks to the cartoon “Gena the Crocodile and His Friends”; since then the long-eared symbol, Cheburashka, has settled in almost every home. We also still love the book and cartoon “Three from Prostokvashino”, “The Koloboks Are Investigating”, “Plasticine Crow”, “Baba Yaga Against!” and others.

JK Rowling

Speaking about modern children's writers, it is simply impossible not to remember the author of the series of books about Harry Potter, the boy wizard and his friends. It is the best-selling book series in history, and the films based on them have grossed huge amounts of money at the box office. Rowling had to go from obscurity and poverty to worldwide fame. At first, not a single editor agreed to accept and publish a book about a wizard, believing that such a genre would be uninteresting to readers. Only the small publishing house Bloomsbury agreed - and it was right. Now Rowling continues to write, is involved in charity work and social activities, she is a realized author and a happy mother and wife.

Modern Russian children's writers of the 21st century and their works have replaced the long-familiar Chukovsky, with his Aibolit, and Nosov, with his beloved Dunno. Some modern works very controversial. After all, we are accustomed to the fact that children's fairy tales, stories and poems should be kind, instructive in some way, and goodness should certainly win.

In addition, there are outright graphomaniacs with unstable psyches, but they have enough money to publish their collections.

Therefore, it is very important to carefully sift out the literature that falls into the hands of children. After all, it shapes their psyche and suggests the line of their behavior in various situations.

Modern children's writers in Russia have moved away from classical Soviet children's literature and do not always put morality first. And yet, they manage to convey in a fun and accessible way to children what “good” is and what “bad” is.

Contemporary children's writers of Russia, list:

  • Tatyana Bokova (I fell in love on Thursday. Miracles under New Year. Mom, Dad and I.)
  • Sergey Georgiev (Christmas trees: Field Marshal Pulkin. Ball from Australia. Little green frog)
  • Arthur Givargizov (Notes of an outstanding student. About dragons and policemen.)
  • Tamara Kryukova (Shiny galosh with right leg. Zhenya Moskvichev and his friends)
  • Oleg Kurguzov (Birthday upside down. In the footsteps of Pochemuchka)
  • Sergey Sedov (Hercules. 12 great labors. An eyewitness account.)
  • Maria Bershadskaya (Big little girl.)
  • Stanislav Vostokov (Do not feed, do not tease...)
  • Arthur Givargizov (From grandfather's to children's.)
  • Maria Aromstam (When the Angels rest.)
In fact, there are now a lot of children's writers, and only the most famous ones are listed here. How do people become writers? Most of them are dreamers and inventors who, having become parents, discovered that their children have nothing to read. Old fairy tales have long been read, and some of them are better protected from. It is difficult to teach children to read when there is a vacuum around, and this is in best case scenario. It's worse if the child gets stuck in computer games, where he develops not the simplest character.

Modern children's writers are psychologists, teachers and simply parents who endlessly love children, their own and others, and they grow up with their children, telling more and more new fairy tales. They know the children, and sometimes it is the children who give advice fairy tales. Only the person who communicates with children every day can write an exciting story and tear the child away from the TV with cartoons.

And the influence of children's fiction on the child's psyche cannot be underestimated. Books force a child to think and imagine images on his own, which does not happen when watching cartoons.

Parents should pay more attention to their child and choose fairy tales/stories that the child will understand and will like. He just doesn't know that such a thing exists. fairy world literature and does not know how to separate good books from the bad ones.

Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky was born on March 31, 1882, a Russian poet, literary critic, children's writer and journalist. The passion for children's literature, which made Chukovsky famous, began relatively late, when he was already a famous critic. In 1916, Chukovsky compiled the collection “Yolka” and wrote his first fairy tale “Crocodile”. In 1923 it was published famous fairy tales"Moidodyr" and "Cockroach".
