अस्सी के दशक के बाद से विगत कुछ वर्षों तक लिखे गए मेरे लेखों ने बाल मजदूरी, बाल दुर्व्यापार, बाल दासता, यौन उत्पीड़न, अशिक्षा आदि विषयों को सैद्धांतिक और व्यावहारिक आधार दिया। जहाँ तक मेरी जानकारी है, ये बच्चों के अधिकारों से संबंधित विषयों पर लिखे गए सबसे शुरुआती लेख हैं। मैं आपको विनम्रतापूर्वक बताना चाहूँगा कि ये लेख ऐसे ऐतिहासिक दस्तावेज हैं, जिन्होंने भारत में ही नहीं, दुनिया भर में बाल अधिकारों के आंदोलन को जन्म दिया। साधारण लोगों से लेकर बुद्धिजीवियों, कानून निर्माताओं तथा संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ तक में हलचल पैदा की। मैंने पैंतीस सालों में इन्हीं विचारों की ताकत को संगठनों व संस्थाओं के निर्माणों, सरकारी महकमों के गहन शोध प्रबंधों, कॉरपोरेट जगत् की नीतियों, राष्ट्रीय व अंतरराष्ट्रीय कानूनों और सरकारी बजटों में परिवर्तित होते देखा है।

"इस पुस्तक में मैंने कोविड-19 महामारी से उपजे ‘सभ्यता के संकट’ के कारणों, परिणामों और समाधानों की विवेचना करने का प्रयास किया है। मेरा जोर, महामारी से उपजे संकट के तात्कालिक उपायों के अलावा मुख्य रूप से स्थायी समाधानों पर है। ये समाधान करुणा, कृतज्ञता, उत्तरदायित्व और सहिष्णुता के सार्वभौमिक मूल्यों पर आधारित हैं। मैं मानता हूँ कि इन मूल्यों को व्यवहार में लाने के आसान तरीके खोजे जाने चाहिए। उपदेश और उपचार का अलग-अलग महत्त्व होता है। उपदेश आसान होते हैं और उपचार मुश्किल। कोरोना वायरस की वैक्सीन तो देर-सवेर ढूँढ़ ही ली जाएगी और इस महामारी का अंत भी हो जाएगा। लेकिन, समाज की चेतना में लगी बीमारियों को दूर करने के लिए ठीक-ठीक उपचार ढूँढ़कर उन्हें उपयुक्त ढंग से लागू करना होगा। इस पुस्तक में मैंने ऐसे ही कुछ उपचार और समाधान ढँूढ़ने का कोशिश की है। —कैलाश सत्यार्थी "

तुम पहले क्यों नहीं आए में दर्ज हर कहानी अँधेरों पर रौशनी की, निराशा पर आशा की, अन्याय पर न्याय की, क्रूरता पर करुणा की और हैवानियत पर इंसानियत की जीत का भरोसा दिलाती है। लेकिन इस जीत का रास्ता बहुत लम्बा, टेढ़ा-मेढ़ा और ऊबड़-खाबड़ रहा है। उस पर मिली पीड़ा, आशंका, डर, अविश्वास, अनिश्चितता, ख़तरों और हमलों के बीच इन कहानियों के नायक और मैं, वर्षों तक साथ-साथ चले हैं। इसीलिए ये एक सहयात्री की बेचैनी, उत्तेजना, कसमसाहट, झुँझलाहट और क्रोध के अलावा आशा, सपनों और संकल्प की अभिव्यक्ति भी हैं। पुस्तक में ऐसी बारह सच्ची कहानियाँ हैं जिनसे बच्चों की दासता और उत्पीड़न के अलग-अलग प्रकारों और विभिन्न इलाक़ों तथा काम-धंधों में होने वाले शोषण के तौर-तरीक़ों को समझा जा सकता है। जैसे; पत्थर व अभ्रक की खदानें, ईंट-भट्ठे, क़ालीन कारख़ाने, सर्कस, खेतिहर मज़दूरी, जबरिया भिखमंगी, बाल विवाह, दुर्व्यापार (ट्रैफ़िकिंग), यौन उत्पीड़न, घरेलू बाल मज़दूरी और नरबलि आदि। हमारे समाज के अँधेरे कोनों पर रोशनी डालती ये कहानियाँ एक तरफ हमें उन खतरों से आगाह करती है जिनसे भारत समेत दुनियाभर में लाखों बच्चे आज भी जूझ रहे हैं। दूसरी तरफ धूल से उठे फूलों की ये कहानियाँ यह भी बतलाती हैं कि हमारी एक छोटी-सी सकारात्मक पहल भी बच्चों को गुमनामी से बाहर निकालने में कितना महत्त्वपूर्ण हो सकती है, नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता की कलम से निकली ये कहानियाँ आपको और अधिक मानवीय बनाती हैं, और ज़्यादा ज़िम्मेदार बनाती है।
