САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

In this scientific article we will talk about the novel “Anika decided to play” by the young Macedonian author Marija Petrovska. In fact, the novel will only be our starting point to talk about the optimistic-vitalistic character of children’s literature. For this purpose, through the character of the heroine – Anika, and her attitude towards life, her determination to achieve some things in life, for example, to learn to play, in which she succeeds, we will try to show the influence of the altruistic and positivist attitude to the world that surrounds the child. Of course, for this purpose, it is indispensable to show the importance of the close ones, relatives, parents, on the formation of these sides of the child’s personality, a child who will become a worthy adult tomorrow.
