Minutos de Leitura is a Portuguese publishing house founded in 2000 that specializes in short children's books designed for parents to read aloud before bedtime. The company operates out of São João do Estoril and maintains a distribution partnership with the Distribuidora de Livros Bertrand following earlier challenges with Diglivro.

• Products: Publishes illustrated titles such as Piggy Wiggy, A Casa do Filipe, and À espera de um irmãozinho featuring humor and themes that resonate with young readers.
