Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries by Eva Mendes (9/17/24)

From actress Eva Mendes, comes Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, a story about a little girl—with the help of her mami—working to clear her mind of endless scary worries just before bedtime.

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.
