Homes around the world

Hi, everyone!
      I was looking for games and activities about the house, its rooms and furniture, when I came across this interesting book by the photographer James Mollison.
He had to develop a project on children's rights and he thought about his bedroom when he was a child and how this room reflected what he had and what he was.
Click on the book to see some of the pictures (then click on NEXT to turn the pages)
