Children From Families With Different Income Levels Showed Their Favorite Toys

Anna Rosling Rönnlund is a designer from Switzerland. She loves to travel around the world, communicate with people and do photo sessions.

For the past 15 years Anna has been working on the Dollar Street project. This is a powerful project that makes us think about life. In it the woman visually shows how people with different income levels live around the world. As a part of the project, Anna visited 264 homes in 50 countries. In each house the photographer spent only one day, taking pictures of people’s lives, their clothes, shoes and children’s toys.

It turns out that just by looking at children’s toys, you can understand everything about the financial situation of the family.
