Children's literature is a hypernym or umbrella term for two fields: firstly, literary texts for children (up to 12) and secondly texts for young people (from 12 to 18) - the ages here being more of an informative nature. The fieldof children's literature is part of polysystems such as society, culture,language and literature; it has functions that are complementary and dependent on other systems, e.g. Slovene literature, comparative literature, translation studies, library studies and similar fields.
