ABSTRACT
Digital technology has been increasingly popular and accessible to a broad section of the global population since the final two decades of the twentieth century. Due to the undeniable facilities offered by this type of technology for the production, distribution and consumption of information, contemporary culture is becoming a "culture encoded in digital form". In comparison with the production of digital poetry for an adult audience, production intentionally directed towards children is still very limited. This relative lack is not exclusively Brazilian: even in countries where there has been more significant investment in the creation and review of digital works, the number of digital poems for children does not seem to be as extensive as the number of works for adults. In the 1980s and 1990s, especially in the United States, there was intense discussion regarding new narrative forms based on hypertext, which led some authors to even refer to a new artistic and literary movement.
