"Hi! I'm Charlie. In my mind and in my body, all my emotions fight to take up as much space as they can. I like to picture my feelings as balloons. Sometimes they're so light they float away. Other times, they're so heavy it's like they're filled with water... For highly sensitive kids and the parents, teachers, and families who love them. Charlie's experience is relatable to all children who feel big emotions, from joy to fear and everything in between. Their story shows that not only is it fine to be highly sensitive, it is in fact a great strength."--

Las historias contenidas en estas páginas y escritas por Emma Cadenas, Alexis Castro, Juan Manuel Chávez, Talía Coloma, Jorge Eslava, Francisco Flores, Cristina García Calderón, Daniel Goya, Eloy Jáuregui, Rosalí León-Ciliotta, Ricardo Meinhold, Luis Miranda, Sofía Rodríguez, Carlos Schwalb, Daniel Soria y Jorge Valenzuela, contribuyen a entender cómo los peruanos hemos resistido con resiliencia este traumático episodio que aún no concluye, otro más en nuestra historia atiborrada de dolor. Uno en el que perdimos a tantos: padres, hijos, parejas, hermanos, amigos. Aún seguimos cargando con el luto, aún seguimos sufriendo por sus ausencias. Son muchas y muchos, y los extrañamos. ¿Alguna vez dejaremos de llorar en soledad? ¿En algún momento podremos sobrellevar esta pena sobre nuestros hombros? ¿Superaremos este dolor tan hondo? Nadie ni nada -menos la ciencia- podrá tener una respuesta. Esa es precisamente la condición de estos relatos contados en los días más oscuros. Tal vez los sentimientos encontrados que transmiten puedan ayudarnos a entender que en esta misma tierra en la que enterramos a nuestros muertos, hoy se abren los girasoles, los geranios y las cantutas. Y es que resistimos, finalmente. El Perú ha resistido. Aquí estamos.
