Summary/Abstract: Image of the child as a hero of literary text became an important thing in the process of development of Slavic literatures of XX century. Writings of E. Ozheshko, F. Dostoyevsky, H. Sienkiewicz evidence it the best of all. In Ukrainian literature such examples represent Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi’s early stories such as "Kharytia, Yalynka" ("Fir Tree"), "Malenkyi Hrishnyk" ("A Little Sinner"). They were debut creatings of the author and publication of those stories had become possible thanks to the cooperation of the author with the editorial office of the child magazine “Dzvinok” (“A Small Ring”) which had been publishing in Halychyna. Showing the types of children the writer combined principles of everyday-realistic style with elements of psychological writing. We can find this in laconic portraits of heroes, dynamic dialogues, masterful landscapes Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi’s heroes are shown in the border situations of life in their standing before the moral choice. The author’s little heroes are closely connected with the world of adults and reflect the current problems of this world.
