Abstract
This paper explores the complex interplay between body politics and children's literature across cultures and time. By analyzing accounts from assorted social and cultural settings and historical periods, the paper validates how these apparently naive stories replicate and form societal standards, outlooks, and power undercurrents associated with the human body. From traditional folk tales to present-day literature, the analysis highlights how children's literature can both strengthen and challenge societal typecasts, endorse body positivity, and sanction young readers to critically participate in cultural representations. The paper also considers the role of neuroscience in understanding how children's brains process and respond to narratives about the body, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive and inclusive approaches to children's literature.
