Abstract

Children’s and young adults’ literature, a subset of didactic literature, plays a crucial role in helping young audiences understand the world around them and educating those with less life experiences. This genre is vital for character building and preparing children for the future, as it supports their spiritual, psychological, and intellectual development during their formative years. Researchers trace the roots of children’s literature to the stories told by mothers and grandmothers. In Arabic literature, the first contemporary works for children emerged during the translation movement led by Rafa Tahtawi in Egypt. In Iran, significant literary developments occurred after the constitutional decree in 1324 A.H., which also saw a rise in children’s literature alongside social, political, and cultural changes. This research offers a comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of didactic themes in the works of Ebrahim Aboutaleb, a notable children’s poet from Yemen, and Naser Keshavarz, a renowned contemporary Iranian children’s poet.
