Very few people, at any age, remember what to do when this emotion appears. Fear has a positive purpose, and in this story, we will discover it together.
Guacimara the Capybara is an illustrated story that transforms I'm scared into a moment of connection and learning through breathing, listening, and trust.
Guacimara, a calm and observant capybara, accompanies a little mouse named Martin on a journey along the riverbank. Together, they discover that fear is not an enemy, but a message that can be listened to with kindness-and even become a force for growth.
MORE THAN A STORYThis is not just a book to read; it is a supportive tool. At the end, you will find practical mindfulness activities adapted for children and young people:
- Guided breathing exercises
- Simple mindfulness practices
