Did you know tears have special powers and there are different types of them? This enthusiastic team of young scientists sets up a laboratory in a garage to study tears and all the different things they can be used for. They are about to become explorers, in a sea of emotions!
Peter and his friends have discovered an unprecedented fact... the magic of tears can be used for many things! Good scientists as they are, they have set up their own laboratory in Amy's grandma's garage and have noted that each tear is born from a different emotion. Who said you can only cry when you are sad?
After spending a long time collecting tears in lachrymatories, this group of friends has discovered and classified ten different types of tears. Silky tears, First Time tears, Chilly tears, Prickly tears, Goodbye tears, even of Sparkly Tears! All tears contain a different emotion within them, and that makes them so precious.
Behind every tear, there's an embrace, and in that embrace... you'll feel safe.
