As his friends recall, Serezha was a very kind, vulnerable and shy person, even when he became famous.
После окончания института, как раньше и it was believed that he was assigned to work in his specialty in one of the provincial towns. It is thanks to the experience of working in a school for children with a speech defect that he learned a lot, which later came in handy in his work.
The very first works that publishedIvanov Sergey Anatolyevich, there were small children's tales and poems of his own composition. He published in children's magazines. At that time he was secretary of the Central Committee, from where he sent the novice writer to work in children's print magazines. The most famous at that time were "Koster", "Murzilka" and "Pioneer".
In 1971 his first book was published -a collection of children's poems entitled Forest Workshop, which was highly appreciated by teachers and critics. It is from this time that he decides to write only for children and about children.
Literary professionalism came to the author,when he was thirty, after releasing a collection of stories "Bread and Snow", published in 1973 by the publishing house "Children's Literature". However, the first book that the author published was a collection of poems for children called “The Kid”. The main part of his works are occupied by stories about nature and animals. These are creations that fully comply with the canons of traditional Russian prose. The wisdom and warmth of the stories, as well as their lyricism and imagery, are reminiscent of works by J. Koval and M. Prishvin.
The author is trying to convey to the reader the idea thatthat people are responsible for all life on Earth, teaches them to love and appreciate. It shows the inseparability of man and nature, the role of nature in human life, as well as man in nature. These are the works written by Sergei Anatolyevich Ivanov.

In addition to stories about nature, the collection includedworks about schoolchildren and children. The book really liked the little readers and received positive reviews from literary critics. The author himself liked to say that the book should not be like in life, and books are needed for this, so that they become brighter, louder, more cheerful. It was these works that Ivanov created; they were fascinating, thoughtful, and at the same time lyrical. The most famous and beloved were the stories: “In the endless forest”, “Former Bunka and his daughter”, “He is not among us”, “Thirteenth year of life”, “Olga Yakovleva” and others.
Лишь после выхода в свет повести «Ольга Яковлева» the very next morning Ivanov Sergey Anatolyevich became famous. The author's books were bought from bookshelves, and in literary circles he decided on his writer's credo as the author of "school stories."
В это время, а это были 60-е - 70-е годы, когда he began to be printed as a professional author; such distinguished writers as V. Zheleznikov, A. Aleksin and Yuri Yakovlev actively worked in this genre. Ivanov Sergey Anatolyevich, although he was much younger than them and had not such a literary experience, still managed to occupy a worthy place in this series of distinguished masters.
In his works, Ivanov was able to savea clean and high note, which is drawn in the red line in the works of Kassil and Gaidar, but with an intonation peculiar only to him. This intonation is both lyrical and comic-ironic. Not many works still touch upon such serious questions, and communicate with adolescents on adult themes, and talk about problems that can affect not only adults, describe real life. Ivanov Sergey Anatolyevich from such writers. He, like no one else, could subtly feel and understand teenagers with their unstable and aggressive behavior, unwillingness to put up with injustice and the desire to improve family relations.
The main characters of his stories are teenagers of the 70s -mid 90s. Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed since these times, their conflicts and problems are still relevant today. In those days, parents changed their traditional attitude towards the child. Their attitude towards children was no longer so warm and warm, and more acquired a formal character.
Unfortunately, all these problems are still relevant.day. That is why the story of Sergei Ivanov, as before, sound modern. The main theme of his books are the most complex relationships of a person with a collective, an adult and a child, he writes about his first love and keen desire for justice. These were unique, bright and at the same time extremely lyrical works.
Besides literature, Ivanov Sergey AnatolyevichHe also wrote scripts for animated films and motion pictures. The most famous of his animated film is the series “Lost and Found”, which is very fond of the young audience, as well as “Dunno on the Moon”. Sergei Ivanov has written a large number of scenarios, but the rest remain less well known.
Perhaps his most famous work isScriptwriter remains to this day the creation of the cartoon "Last year's snow fell." The cartoon is made in the style of plasticine animation. Over his creation, Ivanov worked together with Alexander Tatarsky, who was already known as the creator of such clay animations. For their creation, the creators had to pretty much fight. The cartoon was strictly censored, literally for every word the authors had to argue with the critics. In almost every expression there was a hidden political hint. Harmless and ridiculous remarks of the main character seemed to them a terrible sedition. A large number of scenes were cut out of the cartoon, some of the main character’s expressions were re-voiced, but despite this, the world saw a real masterpiece, and the replicas from the cartoon just scattered into quotes.
Difficult for the author was the period of the second half90s. This was a new stage in the life of Ivanov. Commercial relations and the labor market dictated their laws, and he demanded a completely different literature. During this period, the author creates an adaptation to well-known foreign fairy tales, as well as a large number of detectives for children. The creator of the works himself indulgently treated his new works, but he was so subtly versed in the psychology of his potential reader that he created works from which it was simply impossible to break away. The books were unexpected and witty.
In the same crucial 90s, Ivanov and Roman Sef leadseminars for writers who worked for children, which were held at the Literary Institute. Gorky. It is noteworthy that thanks to this seminar a large number of writers for children and teenagers were formed. Among them was even the winner of the international award of Janusz Korchak Oleg Kurguzov.
Unfortunately, in 1999, December 4, the life of SergeyIvanova tragically cut short. The writer fell under the train. Sergey Anatolyevich Ivanov was buried in the town of Pushkino at the Novo-Derevo cemetery. The photo on the monument will remind you of a young writer who worked his whole life only for children.
