Özet:

Children symbolize the future of mankind. The positive or negative attitudes developed over them reveal the point where humanity actually wants to reach in the future. This is why it is important to educate children in an equipped way from childhood. Because of this importance, an important field of literature as "child literature" has emerged within the general literature science. Children who are homogeneous with purity and innocence are often subject to literature for the development of a level of consciousness in an educational context due to the ‘non-contamination’. Literature, which can also be considered to be a pleasant time, is in a close relationship with the meaning that the child is charged into the game. Like the enjoyment the child enjoys playing, the adults are in the desire to get a enjoyment in this way when they create literary text or are a reader of literary text. In this study, the poem of our national poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy’s poem book Safahat (First Book) will include the forms of reflection of children. The world of children, the expectations from children and the circumstances in which the children are. It can be said that Mehmet Akif, who has all his poems in life, lived, has the poems that his children include both a state of identification and the poet’s expectations of the world of children.
