War as an event that leaves great and lasting consequences on society is a tough and painful topic, especially if viewed through suffering and experiencing children. Numerous children in the war have remained without their parents, and their feelings, events, and childhood spent in the basements beneath the skies covered with grenades inspired many authors to write novels about war events from the aspect of children. Watching the war through the children's eyes is the most prominent view of the war expressed through fear, insecurity and uncertainty. Unprotectedness and life, not in war, but with war, results in the desperation that children are trying to overcome by writing their thoughts and examining their role in the war, resulting in maturity on the basis of their own perceptions. The paper presents a children's war novel with an emphasis on novel Stjepan Tomas. My dad sleeps with angels. Roman was written in diary, and the main character is the girl Cvijeta who experiences horrors in her native Osijek. The flower is described as a girl who lives in fear and uncertainty, carries out her childhood in the dark and dark space, and her thoughts feel on the paper to shorten her time in shelter, and at least a few fears overcome fragments of paper thoughts.
