Like other books by Susan Meller, Remnants of Childhood gathers up everyday objects from people's lives and brings them into focus on the pages of this book-pieces of cloth designed especially for kids; patterned cotton feed and flour sacks repurposed into dresses; children's hankies; whimsical baby bibs; muslin storybook books, and much more. The common thread weaving through this book is cotton cloth. The time period is the 1880s through the 1950s. The theme is Americana.
