How We Live, Learn, and Play in Poems, Drawings, and Photographs by Anthony Asael and Stephanie Rabemiafara
Between 2005 and 2009, photographers Anthony Asael and Stephanie Ravemiafara spent 1,464 days traveling roughly 385,000 miles around the globe. Their mission? To capture the smiles of more than 18,000 children worldwide. With the help of UNICEF, the photographers (and founder of the nonprofit organization Art in All of Us) visited 310 schools in 192 countries and held artistic workshops for children of all ages. By encouraging children to explore what it means to be a child in their own countries through drawings, paintings, and poems, the photographers collected 25,000 pieces of art and 160,000 photos.The children’s firsthand reflections allow readers a glimpse into vastly diverse cultures. Read Jada Sweeting’s poem and visualize the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas. Discover the importance of cows in Switzerland through Melanie Oppliger’s drawing. Learn about the favorite foods of Malaysian children with Shi Ying’s poem. Discover exotic wildlife around the world with Lizen Pan’s drawing of a giraffe in South Africa. Poems are presented in their original language and accompanied by English translations and all pieces of art are presented in their original vivid colors. On every page of this book, the lives of children come to life.
