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.
