Mozambique
In this photo my friends Roni, 10, and Michele, 12, are enjoying an afternoon on their homemade swing. The ingenuity of the Mozambican children to have fun with basic resources -- from picnics with jar lids, to swings with sticks and strings, to pretend sound systems with mud and old wires -- always inspired me. This photo inspired my first Children's book -- A Moveable Throne.
