The children’s
moment
Inspired by 25 expressive, exciting, and powerful photos from 17 photographers from 10 countries (including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Muhammed Muheisen with his UNICEF Photo of the Year 2017), Folke Tegetthoff tells about 25 children from 20 countries – from Afghanistan to Bulgaria, from Myanmar to Ireland, from China to Madagascar.
In his stories, it is not about what the photo shows, but rather stories and fairy tales full of imagination, about various topics that the children of the 21st century are confronted with.
