The boy and the butterflies take us back to the dimension of the stories we read and heard in childhood, it reminds us of the rational dimension of dreams and the different interpretations that we can draw from them.

All this childhood imagination is decisive for what we become, because that's where our adult life begins.

It all started in the afternoons after school, when Bernardo would come home eager to listen to his grandmother, who always had a story to tell.

The one he liked best was about butterflies so special that everyone could have.

What Bernardo didn't know is that these butterflies were caused by emotions, uncontrollable feelings that make us feel anxious, usually due to the happiness of finding someone we love again.

It includes mindfulness activities, designed by an expert psychologist, aimed at helping children develop mindfulness skills, relaxation and emotional awareness, promoting calm, improved attention, memory and kindness towards themselves and others.
