It’s impossible to do with the ls command by itself. You can do it by piping ls -l output to other commands or with a totally different command like find as others have answered.
The tree command gives another alternative:
rick@alien:~/askubuntu$ tree -h

The tree option passed is -h for human readable size. For size in exact bytes pass -s.
