Agim Deva’s poetry has enriched children's literature with themes and motifs, creating thematic particularity, with environmental, game and drug themes, cultivating fable poetry and enigma poetry. The treatment of fable poetry came as a result of the use of dialogue, plot, narration, as elements of narrative creations. In this case, Deva’s poetry functions in the form of the narrator character. The presence of narrator character is realized well, when dealing with the description, while when the author narrates on behalf of children character, there is realized the dialogue that creates emotion, contains plot, rhyme and rhythm.
Another characteristic of Deva’s style is the treatment of the animal world, nature and of the seasons, through the figure of personification. Besides personification, he uses allegory, which both are considered as two dominant figures in children's literature. He knows very well children’s world, knows dreams, imagination contained in this literature for fulfillment of cognitive, educational, entertaining and aesthetic function.
Agim Deva is the embodiment of the writer and the child, the synonym of the poet.

Children’s Albanian literature, cannot be understood as the full without Agim Deva as part of the most proven literary values of children's literature.
