Publisher's Synopsis
From actress Eva Mendes comes her debut picture book Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, the story of a little girl facing endless scary worries.
Every night begins with the same refrain: "MAMI! THERE'S A MONSTER UNDER MY BED!" Desi has so many scary thoughts! Is her brain a monster?! Of course it's not a real monster, and Mami assures Desi of this. Sometimes we just have scary worries running through our minds. And like anything in life, you just need to work to make things better. With gentle guidance from Mami, Desi realizes she's the boss of her thoughts. Together they try different approaches to clear their minds of these never-ending worries. While Desi may still have scary thoughts from time to time, she realizes that they can tackle anything! Actress Eva Mendes writes a deeply relatable story about a subject that all parents can likely connect with: the bedtime struggle! Pulling from her own experiences as a mother, she has written a fun and instructive story of a mother and daughter working together to quash those scary thoughts and be off to bed at last.
