The main objective of this present work has been to conduct research about book subscription
clubs for children, focused on children's audience, analyzing the amount of translation and
national books in these services. The cut for the analysis is done with the selection of books
for the age group of 7 years old in the clubs Minha Pequena Feminista, Leiturinha and
Quindim. In addition, we also discussed the fact of not translating languages but subjects and
statements (Meschonnic, 2010). As secondary objectives, I will make an analysis of texts
translated from different languages and countries in the study section and a survey of the
translators' women present. The work is justified by the investigation of literary genre for
children in the field of translation, assisting in the systematization of information that
contributes to research in the area of literature translation for children (Aseff, 2012). With the
analysis of the graphs generated through a quantitative research, it is perceived a higher
percentage of Brazilian literature (national) within the cutting. Already among the
translations are noticeable some asymmetries of power in the literary system (Venuti, 2019),
and that reflects on translation policies (Santos; Francisco, 2018) and ethnocentrism present
in the quantitative difference of translations from certain countries to the detriment of others
(Oustinoff, 2011). Finally, I observe the influence of the school system on the market
preferences of literature for children (Lima, 2018) and the presence of women translators in
the translation market of this segment of literature.
