Summary:

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Children and childhood in the modern world are generally considered synonymous with play, laughter, fun and frolic. To many it is a special phase in life which should be carefree and where the worries of adult life should not cast its shadows. This book captures childhood in its myriad hues and examines it through a lense that gives an enriched experience and kaleidoscopic view to the reader.
