The book explores the everyday lives of children during the colonial period in America, providing insights into their experiences and societal roles. Earle aims to fill a gap in historical literature regarding the often-overlooked aspect of children's lives, focusing on their upbringing, education, and play in the context of the time. The opening of the book delves into the challenging conditions faced by children in the early American colonies, particularly those who arrived with the Pilgrims and other early settlers. Earle describes the harsh realities of infant mortality and the struggles for survival that both children and their families endured in the unfamiliar environments of Puritanical New England. Through the lens of personal accounts, diaries, and illustrations, Earle paints a vivid picture of both the joys and adversities of early childhood in colonial America, setting the stage for a deeper exploration in the chapters that follow.
