Abstract:
This research tackles the care, upbringing, and education of Arab children, addressing all aspects of their intellectual, scientific, cognitive, imaginative, moral, impressionistic, and behavioral development through the creation of literature known as “children's literature.” This has now become a clear direction and a prominent goal for many educational, academic, and media institutions across the Arab world within its cultural landscape. The Arab children now have a unique culture, with diverse creative expressions in songs, poems, and stories, as well as educational centers, national, and international councils dedicated to their care and the planning of their future. These efforts aim to present various ideas that connect the children with their era, heritage, homeland, and creative works that enhance their thinking and behavior within their society, while instilling faith in them. This faith enables them to coexist with surrounding societies and engage with modern developments in education, cultural exchange, and, especially, the ethical dimension, which is a priority of our noble religion. This study explores the world of children's creativity in this field, as crafted by leading authors of children's literature in the Arab world.
