The landscapes of India are varied and so are the lives of
the people who live in the different regions. In Rajasthan in
the north the buildings and traditional crafts attract
tourists. One child's father makes shoes and another
organises tours for visitors to the region. In Kerala in
southern India the growing and selling of spices provides
employment for some families. Kerala means 'The land of
the coconut tree' so many families are also involved in
farming coconuts. All parts of the coconut are used and
produce a range of products from cooking oil to floor mats.
The final child lives in Mumbai, one of the largest cities in
India. Mumbai has a very busy port and some families
import goods through the port.
