He changed his name in order to sound more Polish and avoid being confused with his cousin Boles&, also a poet.
Among his works is the Chrz&( a beetle, chafer), a poem famous for being one of the hardest to pronounce texts in Polish literature, even for adult, native Polish speakers.
Jan Brzechwa was born in Żmerynka in Podolia in a Polish-Jewish family.

 Smoke kiss and Barriers Social by Marta Soltys
She’d often give up climbing walnut trees for journeys into fantasy lands of children's writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Jan Brzechwa, Malgorzata Musierowicz and later on, Ernest Hemingway.
Although at first she hated school, she slowly warmed up to it and reading became one of Marta’s favorite hobbies.
Marta came to Canada in 1990 and her family settled in Hamilton, Ontario, just an hour drive from Toronto.

 Anti-Semitism Worldwide 1999/2000 - Poland
The small village of Dmosin in central Poland reacted to a proposal in spring 2000 to name an elementary school after the poet Jan Brzechwa with a letter-writing campaign, supported by the local parish priest, protesting the notion of naming a school after a “poet of Jewish origin,” whose original name was Lesman.
The leading and most vitriolic anti-Semitic publications are Szczerbiec (Sword), the monthly of Odrodzenie Narodowe Polski and Internet bulletins (some affiliated with parties, others independent) such as Krucjata (Crusade), Jestem Polakiem (I Am a Pole), Rozpoznaj Zydow (Recognize the Jews) and Zydzi przestancie klamac (Jews Stop Lying).
In May 2000 the latter ran a story vigorously protesting the findings of Jan Tomasz Gross’ book Sasiedzi (Neighbors), which detailed the July 1941 massacre of some 1,600 Jews in the town of Jedwabne (near Lomza) carried out by local Poles.

Officials said they want to recreate the essence of the poem which reads: "In Szczebrzeszyn a beetle sounds in the reeds".

The lowly fungus has even made it into Polish literature.
Mushrooms have also figured in the names of politicians, from ineffective pre-war Marshal Edward Rydz-Smigly (a rydza   is tasty fried in butter), to hapless Solidarity-era communist chief Stanislaw Kania (a kania is best battered and then fried like a schnitzel).
Children's author Jan Brzechwa wrote a well-loved poem entitled "Mushrooms" about the king of the mushrooms, borowik, a species that makes excellent soup.

It's a play of words in a children's poem by mr Jan Brzechwa that I don't think I'm able to translate, but the gist of it is such: in Polish, a cricket is called a 'Field-Pony' and a Ladybird is called a 'God's Cow'.
The two in the rhyme wanted to become as big as the mountain...so they grew and grew and grew, until they became a horse, and a cow.:)
