Abstract

The importance of children's literature in personality building is a topic on which there is no room for debate, because, every sensible person knows that children's literature also plays an important role in child personality building. Unfortunately, children's literature has never been given the importance that it deserves. Punjabi literature is being created in large quantity but there are only a few poets who write for children. Dr. Muhammad Riaz Shahid (Born: 1954) is one of them. He is a renowned personality of Punjabi Language and Literature. He is generally known for his research work. But he has a particular identity as a Children's Poet. This article contains a critiqued and scrutinized analysis of his children's poetry (Punjabi) along with the general literary behavior of poets and the public towards Children's literature/poetry. Children's poetry is not an easy task to do. It requires a unique set of mind. Here, in this article, it is tried to discover how successfully he justified himself as a Children's Poet.
