“Half a Century In the Garden of Children’s Poetry |
is a journey to the world of children, a world in which the unoccupied mind is fascinated by and immersed in its present time.

“I am children’s song writer
from their love is my soul in peace
I am Abbas Yamini Sharif
from children seek my trace”

Children’s world is a different one that is not yet tamed by adult’s logics. There are freedoms in that world that we grown ups have already lost. Very few people can go back to that world and live with children and write poems and stories in their language. Yamini Sharif is leading them all. |

Yamini Sharif was always thinking and in service of the children of our land. By writing poems, publishing magazines, writing books as well as elementary 1st grade tutorial book, he had an active and effective role in the cultural life of Iranian children at large. |

I first met Yamini Sharif in 1965 when I had to write a report for a magazine. I Visited Ravesheno Schools and became familiar with some of his thoughts and views on children’s education. From the very beginning what profoundly affected me was the essentiality of children, their needs, rights and growth for this sincere patron of all children |
