This article will focus on works of the great Kazakh poet M. Zhumabaev for children. He is one of our poets who left a deep mark in the world of Kazakh poetry, praising the power of the art of words, creating a kind of artistic expression in the theory of poetry, transmitting to descendants a world of deep feelings, lofty dreams and sparkling fantasies. His postures were preceded by stormy adventures and tense situations that took place in the Kazakh steppe at the beginning of the 20th century. The time during which the poet lived was filled with dramatic social changes. Therefore, the poet's work remained in the darkness of the abyss, which for the time being was closed to us. Only after the onset of independence Magzhan, one of the greatest figures of Kazakh culture and literature, returned to his nation.
