A touching story about a girl who experiences the world more intensely than others – light, noise, and even clothing seams bother her. The book gently shows that being highly sensitive is not a flaw, but a trait that can be understood and accepted.
From early childhood, Maya often feels uncomfortable – sometimes light stings her eyes, other times noise frightens her, and most often she is troubled by clothing seams that literally “poke” her skin. One morning she has had enough and cries out: “I don’t want to be like this!”
Those around her don’t know what to say, but Grandpa Tomáš understands best. The story opens up an important topic of sensitivity and offers a kind perspective on how a family can support a child when they experience things more strongly.
