Music for children plays an important role in Miloslav Kabeláč's artistic oeuvre. Especially in the early days after the communist coup in 1948, the composer devoted himself to this genre: "I regard composing for children as a 'touchstone' not only for all creative
abilities, but also for the human qualities of the composer. That is why I take this work as seriously and as importantly as any other". In his music, Kabeláč creates powerful atmospheric images with a playful sensitivity for language, some of which is highly onomatopoeic. His serious engagement with children's works is once again evident in the fact that Kabeláč repeatedly quoted motifs and melodies from children's works in larger symphonic works.
