In Children of the World, Marino brings together his most beautiful, moving, funniest and most captivating images of daughters and sons in European countries, among indigenous peoples in Africa and on the streets of East Asia.

He approaches these young people face to face, revealing their deepest feelings – their joys and moments of bliss, their desires and insecurities. Despite all the adversity they face in the present, their laughter and seriousness offer hope for the future. For a fleeting moment they are very close to us. Each photo expresses the phrase often denied to children today: “Here I am, this is me.”
