In the past 40 years, poetry for children and youth was largely of Slovenian origin; in as many as 18 years of this period Slovenian publishers did not publish any translation of poetry for children and youth, but only original Slovenian works.
Otroška in mladinska poezija, ki je izhajala v preteklem 40-letnem obdobju, je bila v pretežni meri izvirna slovenska, kar v osemnajstih letih tega obdobja pa slovenske založbe niso izdale celo nobenega naslova prevoda otroške ali mladinske poezije, temveč le izvirna domača dela.
