Respira, de Inês Castel-Branco, es un libro ilustrado con hermosas ilustraciones que introduce con delicadeza a los niños al arte de la respiración consciente. A través de una conversación nocturna entre un niño y su madre, la historia explora cómo la respiración puede calmar la mente y el cuerpo. A medida que el niño aprende a observar su respiración —cómo fluye por la nariz, cómo llena el vientre o el pecho, y cómo fluye lenta o rápidamente—, comienza a relajarse y a encontrar la paz interior. Con un texto poético y visuales relajantes, el libro fomenta la autoconciencia, la regulación emocional y la calma interior. Ideal para niños a partir de 3 años, es un recurso sereno en dos idiomas para introducir la meditación y la atención plena en la primera infancia.

English Description:

Respira by Inês Castel-Branco is a beautifully illustrated picture book that gently introduces children to the art of mindful breathing. Through a nighttime conversation between a child and their mother, the story explores how breath can calm the mind and body. As the child learns to observe their breath—how it moves through the nose, fills the belly or chest, and flows slowly or quickly—they begin to relax and find peace. With poetic text and soothing visuals, the book encourages self-awareness, emotional regulation, and inner calm. Ideal for ages 3 and up, it’s a serene dual-language resource for introducing meditation and mindfulness in early childhood.
