• The Barto’s had a typical for those times way of life: home primary education, French, grand lunches.
• The farther was involved in raising children; being fond of Art, he wanted her daughter to be a famous ballerina, that, unfortunately, Agnia had not become.
• The girl was interested in another field – poetry, which she had taken up after her classmates in gymnasium.

• In her poems Agnia Barto talks to children in their language.
• The biography of poetess tells that she didn’t have any creative failures!
• Perhaps, the reason was the attitude to children like to her peers or coeval friends.
