Exploring the essence of childhood, Jerry Griswold reflects on how classic and contemporary children's literature captures the unique qualities of youth. By analyzing beloved works ranging from "Heidi" to "Harry Potter," he highlights how authors evoke the feelings and experiences of being a child—such as play, fear, and imagination. Griswold illustrates that the success of these writers lies in their ability to recall and convey the wonder and simplicity of childhood moments, making their stories resonate with readers of all ages.
