Originally, Gabriele Galimberti was just going to photograph a girl who happened to be playing with her toys. But once the photographer laid the four-year-old's colorful plastic farm
tools around her, he saw potential. "Immediately," he says in his book's introduction, "there was something about the composition I liked." Thus began a 30-month,
58-country tour photographing children and their favorite toys. The resulting book, _Toy Stories: Photos of Children from Around the World and Their Favorite Things_, published by Abrams
Image, reveals a great deal about the world's diverse socio-economic realties through an incredibly simple and inclusive subject. After all, who among us didn't have a beloved
plaything — or ten — growing up? Here, a selection of Galimberti's sweet and fascinating photos. SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus
