The street a young girl lives on is made up of families from all over the world. Her family shares with her their stories of journey and struggle. Her own story begins here in this country, but she is sometimes made to feel she does not belong. She listens to her family's voices. They tell her she will soar, they tell her she is beautiful. She listens and she says I, too, am here. A multigenerational exploration of immigration, racism, and what it truly means to belong. Inspired by Langston Hughes' poem, "I, Too."

A young girl weathers the highs and lows of daily life with her mother, who has Bipolar Disorder. Her mother's moods affect her and her brother deeply, and sometimes it can be hard.

The author addresses this in her Author's Note and talks about the number of people affected by this mental illness in North America, making this a great conversation starter and resource for families.

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.
