how well integrated are children in literature?

[cacian]

in other words do children have a role in literature and if so what role is it?

[Danik 2016]

Children may be important subjects of literature, they are readers and sometimes they are authors as well.
And there is a special literature made for them. One could discuss the basic differences between adult and children literature.

Danik's point is a good one. I wanted to make a similar one but did not know how to express it.
