    Childhood Innocence I have checked all over the internet for a direct definition of childhood innocence‚ however even the Merriam-Webster dictionary does not have a definition of childhood innocence. I guess you could look up the two words separately and link the definition together. Childhood is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “the state or period of being a child”.
