This book is a useful pedagogical support of ideas and experience to turn the bringing process into an art of intelligence and feelings, of relationship and hope. In times of “growing emergency”, sunflowers and kites are symbols of hope for teenagers. The educator should be fond of sunflowers and should grow them, because they are flowers planted on land and are always oriented towards the sunlight. The educator should be fond of kites and build them because with a tiny thread he should proceed towards flying paths throughout our society and beyond his thoughts. The book deals with reports of experts in the field of education which are the result of a meeting organized by a religious order “Pavoniani” always keen on taking care of teenager education and upbringing process.

It consists in an essay about the pedagogy of education and upbringing addressed to those who work with adolescence problems.
