This book reveals how a postwar cult of childhood creativity developed and continues today, exploring how the idea of children as imaginative was constructed, disseminated, and consumed in the U.S. after World War II. Amy F. Ogata argues that educational toys, playgrounds, middle-class houses, schools, and children's museums were designed to cultivate imagination in a growing cohort of baby boom children.
