OpenAlex Turkish

It is known that children's literature, which has a didactic purpose besides being literary, has a contributing effect on the formation of an individual's own identity.An individual who is born with a biological gender acquires his or her identity through missions assigned by the society.The idea of raising individuals with a certain mission is sometimes seen as an open or a hidden curriculum in children's literature texts.When the traces of gender roles are examined in those texts, this curriculum will also be traced to a great extent.In this study, the image of the changing father in Ayla Kutlu's children's fiction Yıldız Yavrusu will be examined in terms of gender.Social gender roles in Ayla Kutlu's children's novels can sometimes be seen in a fictional real world or in the form of a contemporary fairy tale.In the novel Yıldız Yavrusu, it is seen that the traditional gender roles are replaced by those witnessed in the family structure of the modern societies, and that particularly the changing father figure is reflected in this structure as well as an implicit freedom of gender identity even if it is expressed in the language of a contemporary fairy tale.
