Through a series of photographs, journey into the steppes and discover nomadic childhood. These children grow and develop in the farmstead environment, with young goats and calves as playmates. They grow up in the fresh air of Mongolia's steppes, ride horses, tend to animals, learn to cook and adapt to sometimes challenging environments. A journey in 40 photographs.
