Sweden, early 1900s - an era of social change and unrest, war and poverty. A young working class woman, Maria, wins a camera in a lottery. The camera grants her the eyes to view the world, and empowers her over several decades to raise and nurture her family of six children and an alcoholic, womanizing and sometimes violent, although ultimately loving, husband.

A collection that captures the simple joys of being a young parent. Cuddling and playing with baby. Exploring everyday life through a toddler's eyes. Teaching and mentoring young children, with blocks, basketballs, and books. And the rare moments of solitude, driving to the next appointment or taking a well-deserved rest.

It s often the smallest moments that are the most meaningful moments. A child cuddling a well-loved stuffed animal. A father giving his son a piggyback ride. A mother hugging her daughter. The moments in this collection are both quiet and playful - and always loving.
