From its emergence―marked by the development in the 1930s of new teaching methods based on images rather than text―through to the present day, the children's photobook has served as a stimulus for children to question and nurture their view of the world. Explored by some of the major figures in photography, the genre is notable for predominately attracting women photographers and uniting a diversity of disciplines, such as the graphic arts and live performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnne Lacoste\u003c\/strong\u003e is director of Institut pour la photographie Hauts-de-France.
