Description

For over a year, the photographer and journalist Gabriele Galimberti visited more than fifty countries and created colourful images of boys and girls in their homes and neighborhoods with their most prized possessions: their toys. From Texas to India, Malawi to China, Miata, Fiji and the Philippines, Galimberti recorded the spontaneous and natural joy that unites kids despite their diverse backgrounds. Whether the child owns a veritable fleet of miniature cars or a single stuffed monkey, the pride that Galimberti captures is moving, funny and thought provoking.
