Ivan Franko wrote a number of short stories featuring rural children. These stories were based on his own memories of his childhood, his years at rural and urban schools, and are mostly autobiographical. As Franko himself said, they depict the upbringing of a rural child "from the first glimpses of his own thinking to the highest levels of secondary school, the formation of his character, and the formation of his personality."

Frank has not written a single magic fairy tale, but almost all of them are about animals. According to the writer, fairy tales about animals appeal to children the most. "They love animals, feel close to them, talk to them. They understand them: that's why stories about animals are so interesting to them, especially when those animals in the fable still begin to speak, think and behave like people.
