A sample of some of the many portraits shot by photographer Gabriele Galimberti in the course of an 18-month trip around the world where he documented children posing with their favourite toys. Of the project, entitled ‘Toy Stories’, Galimberti sez:

The richest children were more possessive. At the beginning, they wouldn’t want me to touch their toys, and I would need more time before they would let me play with them. 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.
