Photographer Gabriele Galimberti spent 18 months capturing pictures of children around the world with their favourite toys. He found many similarities, but also a few differences:
“The richest children were more possessive. At the beginning, they wouldn’t want me to touch their toys … In poor countries, it was much easier.
Even if they only had two or three toys, they didn’t really care. In Africa, the kids would mostly play with their friends outside.”
