Almost unmatched in the market: impressive children's portraits from around the world. Mario Marino is an award-winning portrait photographer and one of the great humanists among photographers. With a foreword by a well-known children's author discussing what it means to be a child.

The internationally renowned and highly awarded photographer Mario Marino once said about his portraits: "I try to read the lives of people." In this new book, he shows for the first time how he achieves this with a very special group - children. In "Children of Our World," Marino collects his most beautiful, moving, humorous, and exciting images of daughters and sons in European countries, among indigenous peoples in Africa, and on the streets of East Asia. He meets these little people at eye level, and they reveal their innermost selves - their joy and moments of happiness, their longings and insecurities. Despite all the challenges of the present, their laughter and seriousness can offer hope for the future. For a fleeting moment, they stand very close to us. Each image conveys the message that is often denied to children today: Here I am.
