Toy stories

Over the course of three years, photographer and journalist Gabriele Galimberti visited dozens of countries to create colorful images of boys and girls in their homes and neighborhoods with their most prized possessions: their toys. From Texas to India, from Malawi to China, Iceland, Morocco, and Fiji, Galimberti recorded the spontaneous and natural joy that unites kids despite their diverse backgrounds. Whether a child owns a veritable fleet of miniature cars or a single stuffed monkey, the pride Galimberti captures in his photographs is moving, funny, and thought provoking.
