Poems for children

To All the Aunties of the Kindergarten

from the book The Frogs' Meeting (2005)

Svim tetama iz vrtića „MAZA“što su ljubav nama djeci dali,riječ je mala da kažemo hvala,od srca im ovaj poklon mali.

To all the aunties, kindergarten "Maza",who gave us children all their love so true,though "thank you" is a little word to say,here, from our hearts, this little gift for you.

Posuta im bila cvjećem staza,žele djeca iz vrtića „MAZA“.

May flowers strew each pathway where they go:the "Maza" children wish it may be so.

Translator's note. Croatian children call their kindergarten teachers "teta", auntie. Written in the children's voice for the teachers of the Maza kindergarten.
