over a decade visiting India’s
markets, festivals and cricket
fields to capture portraits of

people from all walks of life,

Rajasthan (pictured right)
to style-conscious urbanites
sporting their own take on
traditional clothing such as the
sari or turban. The photos are full
of character, and run alongside
thoughtful essays by the former
editor-at-large of Vogue India,

We all love a nosy round
someone else’s ga , and kids are
no di erent. Curious folk of all
ages will enjoy our beautifully-
illustrated flap-book, which
explores the very di erent
places where we humans bed
down each night – from stilted
houses by the Amazon (below)
to underground dwellings in the
Australian Outback. Its playfully
informative captions will prompt
further conversations about our
planet’s endless diversity.
