Size,similar to race,gender,and other dimensions,affects people's understanding of their identity,shapes their comprehension of social and cultural norms,and plays a significant role in shaping their values and thought processes.However,despite its importance,the discussion surrounding size has been neglected for an extended period.This study addresses this gap by examining the specific representation of large-and small-sized bodies in children's literature.By focusing on images such as giants,dwarfs,robots,children,and small-sized animals,it aims to uncover the underlying ideological operations associated with size portrayal,including the dynamics between self and others and the balance of power.Furthermore,the study explores how these representations empower children,who are often perceived as weak by adults,and analyzes the value judgments conveyed through various concepts of size.
