Anyone who wishes to write for children must be able to daydream and think like a child and must have the ability to roam freely in the world of imagination. Going through Rabindranath Tagore’s poems, one could easily see how he identifies himself with children. For example, take his poem, “Veer Purush”. In this poem, Khokha imagines that he goes to distant places riding on a red horse and escorting his mother, who is travelling in a palanquin. Suddenly, the dacoits surround the palanquin. Khokha unsheathes his sword, fights bravely, and puts the dacoits to rest. He thus bravely saves his mother. Khokha then fantasises that he sits on the lap of his mother and is fondled by her. Only a mind that thinks like a child could have written such a poem. Those who would like to write stories for children should be like a child at heart, or at least have a good knowledge of child psychology. By the time a person grows up to be an adult, he tends to forget what it is like to be a child.
