Abstrak
Sastra anak yang diciptakan oleh anak-anak usia 9-12 tahun di Indonesia menggambarkan dunia dan pemikiran anak-anak. Di dalamnya ditemukan banyak hal seperti penggambaran cita-cita anak-anak, tokoh-tokoh ideal anak-anak, dan juga hal-hal yang disukai dan tidak disukai oleh anak-anak. Dunia dan pemikiran anak-anak tersebut cenderung digambarkan dalam bahasa asing dalam hal ini bahasa Inggris. Pemakaian bahasa Inggris tersebut terlihat dari penamaan tempat, penamaan benda, penamaan tokoh, dan juga dialog antar tokoh. Hal tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa pengarang anak-anak tersebut memiliki kemampuan untuk menggunakan bahasa Inggris . Di satu sisi, kenyataan tersebut menunjukkan gejala positif bahwa pengarang anak-anak mampu membuat karya mereka setara dengan karya anak-anak lain yang ada di dunia, lebih lanjut lagi karya anak-anak tersebut menarik anak-anak dari negara lain untuk membaca karya mereka. Namun di sisi lain, hal tersebut memperlihatkan fenomena peninggalan terhadap bahasa yaitu bahasa Indonesia, seakan-akan bahasa Indonesia tidak mampu mewakili ekpresi anak-anak secara keseluruhan.
