Stanton began working on Little Humans in 2013, when he traveled to India to photograph children in a slum. He was struck by the resilience and joy of the children he met, and he wanted to share their stories with the world. Over the next few years, Stanton traveled to more than 50 countries to photograph children from all walks of life.

The children in Little Humans come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are refugees who have fled war and violence. Others live in poverty or have disabilities. But despite their challenges, all of the children in the book are full of hope and resilience.

Stanton's photographs are intimate and moving. They capture the beauty and innocence of childhood, as well as the challenges that children face around the world. The stories that accompany the photographs provide a glimpse into the lives of the children and their families. They are stories of hope, courage, and resilience.

Little Humans is a powerful and inspiring book. It is a reminder that all children deserve to be loved and supported. The book is also a call to action. It reminds us that we all have a responsibility to help children who are less fortunate than ourselves.
