A possessive modifier is a possessive form of noun or pronoun added to another noun to show something other than possession. For example:
John's books are in his locker. (the possessive form John's shows that the books belong to John)
The dog's bowl is empty. (the possessive form dog's shows that the bowl belongs to the dog)
These are examples of possessive nouns.
A possessive modifier is a possessive form that shows something else:
He ate the lion's share of the cake. (the share he ate didn't belong to a lion; the possessive form lion's means something different, it's a description for 'the largest' share of the cake)
I received a volume of Kipling's poems. (The poems were written by Kipling, they don't belong to him)
'Children's Shoes on Sale' (oh dear, I hope they're not selling shoes that belong to some children, no, the possessive form is used to say they're selling shoes meant to be worn by children)
These are examples of possessive modifiers.
