This is a coffee table photo book of black and white pictures of children and children with their families. The children appear to be of various races and nationalities photographed around the world outdoors or indoors where they lived and played. Photos are mostly of the spontanious candid type so popular when rangefinder 35mm cameras became so popular in the 1960s.

Sparse text is mostly single sentance quotes, used as photo captions and taken from famous authors as referenced on the inside cover. (

A nice, but unremarkable collection of photographs of children done in the same format as the wonderful "The Family Of Man". (
