Art created for children is a diverse and extensive part of modern culture. Literature has been present in our lives since childhood, it is with its help that the concept of good and evil is laid, a worldview and ideals are formed. Even at preschool and primary school age, young readers can already appreciate the dynamics of poetry or beautiful fairy tales, and at an older age they begin to read thoughtfully, so books should be selected accordingly. Let's talk about Russians and foreign children's writers and their works.
Children's writers of the 19th and 20th centuries and the development of children's literature
For the first time, books especially for children in Rus' began to be written in the 17th century, in the 18th century the formation of children's literature began: at that time such people as M. Lomonosov, N. Karamzin, A. Sumarokov and others lived and worked. The 19th century is the heyday of children's literature, the "Silver Age", and we still read many books by writers of that time.
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

He went to college, became a professor of mathematics, even received the rank of deacon. He really wanted to become an artist, he painted a lot, loved to take pictures. As a boy, he wrote stories, funny stories, adored the theater. If his friends had not persuaded Charles to rewrite his story on paper, Alice in Wonderland might not have seen the light of day, but nevertheless the book was published in 1865. Carroll's books are written in such an original and rich language that it is difficult to find a suitable translation for some words: there are more than 10 versions of the translation of his works into Russian, and readers themselves can choose which one to prefer.

Speaking of modern children's writers, it's simply impossible not to think about the author of the Harry Potter series of books, the wizard boy and his friends.

At first, no editors agreed to accept and publish a book about a wizard, believing that such a genre would be of no interest to readers. Only the small publishing house Bloomsbury agreed - and did not lose. Now Rowling continues to write, is engaged in charity and social activities, she is a self-fulfilled author and a happy mother and wife.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on May 26 (June 6, New Style) 1799 in Moscow. Here he spent his childhood.
In the summer, Pushkin was taken to Zakharyino, his grandmother's village near Moscow. The boy loved these places: both the birch grove, which began right at the gates of the Zakharya house - they drank tea here on hot days, and the huge linden tree by the pond, and the dark spruce forest on its other side. He played here, imagining himself as a hero fighting evil forces. And in the evenings, he listened to cheerful and sad Russian songs, looked at the round dances that peasant girls led.

3. What places did little Sasha like?
The parents had little to do with the child. Sergei Lvovich, the poet's father, thought little about the house, about raising children. Nadezhda Osipovna, the poet's mother, a beautiful society woman, was busy only with herself. The real hostess in the Pushkins' house was the poet's grandmother, Maria Alekseevna Gannibal, a smart, efficient and reasonable woman. She loved her grandson very much. And the child, who did not know parental affection, became attached to her with all his heart. He loved listening to her quiet stories. He loved the fairy tales of his nanny Arina Rodionovna. With her melodious voice, she led the child into such a dazzling world of folk fantasy, she sang such amazing songs that the boy forgot about the world around him. My father had an excellent library, mostly in French. The child eagerly reached for the book. Secretly from adults, he makes his way to bookcases at night, reading by candlelight. Reading has become a passion.

It's time to start learning, but tutors and governesses are not kept in the house. Pushkin did not like his teachers, they did not know how to interest him. However, the child's memory was brilliant, it helped him learn the given lesson, repeating it after his sister Olga.
In the eighth year of his life, he begins to write. Fables, humorous poems, comedies come out from under his pen. He alone “plays out” his comedy “The Kidnapper” in front of his sister. He writes small poems in the albums of neighboring young ladies. Adults do not attach importance to the boy's poetic exercises.
By the age of twelve, Pushkin, in general, was far ahead of his peers in development. He, in the words of his brother, "was gifted with the memory of the incredible, and at the age of eleven he already knew all French literature by heart." However, this did not prevent him from running and jumping over chairs, deftly throwing the ball, that is, remaining a playful boy of twelve. He loved his native nature, folk tales and songs, he loved his grandmother, his nanny, he loved Yusupov Garden and Zakharyino, he loved books.

Despite rampant computerization, parents continue to buy printed editions of books for their children. Of course, there is a greater demand for literature for very young children who do not yet know how to read. Older people prefer to download works on the Internet on their own and read them on their gadgets. Still, the influence of literature on children's development is undeniable. Therefore, in this article we will consider what modern children's writers exist today. A review of famous authors will allow you to understand what children and their parents are interested in.
The influence of literature on the development of children
Let's start from the very beginning. Namely, we will understand how books affect the development of children. It should be noted that those stories that loving parents read or tell are taken quite seriously by their children. Of course, this happens up to a certain point in time, but during this period, the system of perception of the world is already somewhat formed in children. This all means that before you start reading a book by a new author to your child, you should read it yourself.
This is a prerequisite, because modern children's writers and their works are sometimes very innovative, and some fairy tales even show the value system from the writer's individual point of view. The writers who create such books believe that this will help children adapt to the current world and understand it. Of course, here parents should decide how to raise their child, but literature must be carefully chosen from childhood in order to instill in the child a taste for good books.
How to choose a book for a child by age
If you want to instill in your child a love of reading, then you need to choose the right books by age. Let's just say that it's too early for a two-year-old kid to read Nosov's books, as they will be difficult for him to perceive, but the fairy tales of Korney Chukovsky are quite suitable. You can also read short nursery rhymes to your child, and then memorize them together. Also for this age, fairy tales such as “Ryaba the Hen”, “Teremok”, “Gingerbread Man” are suitable (although you can refer to them even earlier).
As the child grows up, one should start reading to him such works as “Three from Prostokvashino”, “The Kid and Carlson”, “The Adventure of Pinocchio”. Further include in the list of books "Cinderella", "Snow White" and similar fairy tales. It is they who will teach the child to experience and sympathize, to think about justice, about what is good and bad.
Modern children's writers and their works can also settle on your children's bookshelf. Of course, they should be selected more carefully, unknown texts must first be read by the parent. But if you already have a fairly adult child, then it is difficult to keep track of him. But try to offer him something that he has not yet read from the classics, perhaps he will like it.
Children's writers and time-tested books
So, let's take a look at some of the best time-tested children's writers and child development books that stand out. These include the following.
- Poems by Agnia Barto. You can start reading them to your baby at the age of one, because she has both short and simple rhymes, as well as longer and more serious ones.
- It is quite popular among kids and almost every child knows his famous works “Moydodyr” or “Tsokotuha Fly”.
- At an older age, the works of the Brothers Grimm should be read to the child. These are, for example, “Snowstorm”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Reasonable Hans”, “Rosehip”.
- Lindgren Astrid and her most famous works "Pippi Longstocking" and "Baby and Carlson".
- More complex, and therefore you need to read them when the child gets older. His most popular book is the “Malachite Box”, which contains many Ural tales. If your child is interested in folklore, then offer him this option.
- A series of books about the adventures of the girl Ellie in the Magic Land is quite interesting.
- Lewis Carroll writes no less fascinating. His most famous works are Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass.
- A very interesting series of books "The Chronicles of Narnia" by Clive Lewis, which opens up an amazing and magical world.
So, we have considered a very small list of children's books by authors, but in fact it is much more extensive. Here you can add other well-known and favorite works that you yourself read as a child. Your child will surely enjoy it.
Modern Russian writers of fairy tales
Now consider a small list of modern children's writers (and their works), namely those who create fairy tales that are published in Russia.
- Natalia Gorodetskaya. A very interesting modern storyteller who has already written many works. For example, she wrote the Fairy Kingdom series. Reading these books, you can really be transported to a completely different world.
- Olga Kolpakova has already published more than a dozen books, including many interesting and instructive stories that your child will surely enjoy.

Modern foreign writers of fairy tales
Not only modern Russian children's writers and their works can be present on the bookshelf of your children, but also foreign ones. Of course, here you need to select much more strictly, because sometimes they offer to read absolutely incredible things, but there are also quite fascinating ones. Let's consider a list.
- Dick King Smith. This English author is very popular for his fascinating stories about animals that can be read by the whole family.
- Sven Nurdqvist. who created a series of books about Peson and his kitten Findus. This work has been translated into many languages, cartoons and a computer game have been created based on it.
- Christine Nestlinger. This is an Austrian author who has published over a hundred books during her career.
Of course, this is not the whole list, but just a few examples. Parents themselves must replenish it so that their child has the opportunity to read good books.
Notable children's poetry authors
On the shelf of your child, in addition to fairy tales, there should also be poetic works. This will greatly expand his horizons, and also help develop memory. And now let's look at what modern children's writers and books for children are working in this style.
- Andre Giles. This is a modern English children's poet who published the book “Dancing Giraffe”, already known to the whole world.
- Marina Boroditskaya. She writes both poetry for adults and for children (of which there are an order of magnitude more). Here are some of the author's poems - "The Last Day of Teaching", "Forest Swamp", "Windmill", "Rybkin TV" and many others.
- Galina Dyadina. Her most popular book is The Book in the Vest. It is a collection of poems arranged in alphabetical order. This will help your child learn the alphabet and read interesting works.
Aspiring young authors
It is sometimes very difficult for a modern parent to choose literature for his child from such a variety of new, fashionable and most often even unknown authors. Therefore, below we will consider the best children's writers and books for the development of children, which are not yet completely known, but have already received well-deserved critical acclaim. In 2015, the “Debut” award was awarded to three authors who received a special prize “For the best work for children and adolescents”. This is Dmitry Akhmetshin from the city of Samara. The award went to him for the story "The adventures of Denis in the painted world." It should be noted that this author is quite young and has several more similar works.
Also on this list is Dmitry Buchelnikov from the city of Sochi, he is noted for his story “Majara”. This is also a young author, whose real name is Dmitry Kungurtsev. Although he writes children's fairy tales and poems from his youth, but earlier his work was only published in one magazine. But now he has received an award and recognition.
As you can see, the modern world is very concerned about the availability of good literature for the younger generation, so this year a new nomination was established for the Debut award - “For the best work for children and adolescents”. Thus, if you want to add to your list of children's books, compiled by authors, and are looking for young talents who write good and interesting works, you can take note of the works of the above writers.
Developing literature (encyclopedias, readers, etc.)
At a certain stage in the development of a child, in order for him to learn more about the world around him and absorb the necessary knowledge in a playful way, separate literature is required. These are various encyclopedias and the like. Now consider what modern children's writers and their works can help you with this.
- Very interesting and talented author. Most often creates developing literature, which is very popular with children. He can find various verses that will help your child learn the multiplication table, as well as a number of tongue twisters, counting rhymes and many others.
- Julia Donaldson. This author wrote "Rhymed Story" which is quite interesting for toddlers.
As the child matures, books such as large encyclopedias with colorful pictures should be purchased. Again, here you only need to focus on the age of your child and the contents of the book itself.
Teen Literature
Separately, it should be said about It is at this age that the child begins to read what he wants. Therefore, sometimes you should be interested in what your child is so passionate about, since not all modern children's writers and their works are suitable even for a teenager. Some are better left out of the reading list altogether. Consider a few authors who are considered the best.
- Joanne Rowling. Perhaps this woman is one of the most popular in the world. It was she who wrote the cycle of books about the boy Harry Potter. Films have been made based on this work.
- Offer your teen classics - Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Jerome Sellinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Ray Bradberry's Dandelion Wine.
- For those who love magic, there is a rather interesting series of books written by Dmitry Yemets. The two most popular are the parody “Tanya Grotter” and “Mefodiy Buslaev”.
And remember, at this age the child begins to experience adult feelings, as well as to comprehend what he wants in this life and what this world is. Therefore, one should be careful in choosing books, since many authors whose works claim to be literature for teenagers should be read at an older age, when the psyche and worldview are already formed.
