Draws or photography to tell the world to children

We are sometimes called upon to illustrate children’s books on biology, astronomy and mathematics, to put geopolitical, ethological and historical information into images, or to provide a visual explanation of violence, misery or death. Showing reality to young people can be challenging. Do photography and illustration convey the same things to children? How do children interpret these different media? What role does the imagination play in how they understand reality?With:Myriam Dahman,children's author and project manager for development awareness and education at Agence Française de Développement
