Madame Wei-wei, a columnist and long-time colleague, says that every time she reads one of Lin's colloquial poems for children, she can't help but admire the way in which he has maintained his childlike outlook. When he sees a drawing done for kids, he is able to describe it from their perspective.
與林良同事多年的專欄作家薇薇夫人表示，每次讀到林良為孩子寫的「白話詩」，就欽佩他多年保持的赤子之心，看到一幅給孩子的畫，就能用孩子的歡愉眼光，明暢地說出來。
