Abstract
In life, literature is very important due the roles that it plays. Literature entertains, educates, warns, corrects and emphasizes on good morals. This presentation highlights the children’s roles in the novels written by Mohamed and Kezilahabi. These are Kiu, Nyota ya Rehema, Rosa Mistika and Kichwa Maji. This presentation shows the roles played by young children and the older ones too. The theory of realism was used in this research. The Progressive Class in France founded this theory. Among the founders were people like Balzac, Stendhal and Flaubert. A library-based design was used to generate data. The generated data was analysed using the qualitative design. This study showed that children characters are given bad roles to play in the novels studied. Keywords: young children, Mohamed and Kezilahabi, qualitative design, qualitative design.
