This book contains 12 poetry lectures given to children by the famous poet and French translator Shucai. Teacher Shucai combines his 30 years of poetry creation experience with his love for children. In this book, he becomes a poetry teacher. He tells the beauty of the most representative poetry at home and abroad in ancient and modern times in a humorous and friendly language that is most touching to children. From the moon described by ancient Chinese poets to the Mirador Bridge on the Seine River in Paris, France, from the concise and clear Japanese haiku to the magnificent and beautiful poems of the Indian philosopher Rabindranath Tagore, Shucai's explanations are both professional, profound and easy to understand, making people feel the charm of poetry, a common language art of mankind. The most valuable thing is that these poetry lectures for children incorporate his "poetic view" on children's poetry - childlike innocence is poetry. He has always focused on guiding children to discover the relationship between their own souls and poetry. He believes that every personality of a child contains genius. Poetry is all about individuality. In the world of poetry, individuality is more precious than diamonds. Shucai's praise and affirmation of childlike innocence and individuality gave children enough confidence when they first faced this world with complicated languages, enabling them to express themselves faithfully. It was under such encouragement that the children became enthusiastic about creation, picked up their pens and began to write their own poems.
