“Where Children Sleep” is a book featuring photographs taken by James Mollison, an English-born photographer, of children across the globe and their bedrooms. Initially published in 2010, the book showcases the diverse living conditions and environments in countries such as the U.S.A., Mexico, Brazil, England, Italy, Israel, Kenya, Senegal, Lesotho, Nepal, China, and India.

The project “Where Children Sleep” highlights the major differences between each child's living conditions and their circumstances. James Mollison provides readers with a glimpse into the lives of children in diverse situations globally, allowing them to reflect on the existing inequalities and appreciate their privilege, particularly those living in developed countries. The second part of “Where Children Sleep” is set to release in autumn this year.

    I think this is a very beautiful and impressive series of photos. This is how we BPs are made to realize that we should appreciate what we have.

    Sincere question, I really don’t know enough about this. But is this really where she sleeps? She is shown as a Geisha, but she is also a 15 year old girl who might want to have some books or little things that display part of her life and character?

    Tzvica is a Hebrew name and the side curls point to the Hasidic ultra-orthodox faith and they follow very strict rules guiding everything in their lives. This could be the reason for the rather austere edroom of this child.
