Synopsis

Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries offers an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment. Listen out for captivating music and deep breathing to blow the monster away! Sit back and delight in this incredible audiobook experience!

This program is read by the author, actor Eva Mendes.

From actress Eva Mendes comes her debut audiobook 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 tells 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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.

About Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes began writing in kindergarten after a short career in scribbling. She pursued many endeavors at a young age, including hall monitor, student government (however short-lived), and at age fifteen she obtained her workers permit so that she could finally work at “like, most every shop” in the Glendale Galleria. Her early acting credits include Fairy Godmother (third grade), one of the three kings in We Three Kings (fourth grade), and star dancer on the drill team.She lived in Los Angeles for many years but has since left to concentrate on following one of her non-Hollywood dreams—raising her two children, Esmeralda and Amada, with partner Ryan Gosling. Oh, and from time to time she acts in some pretty cool movies with some pretty cool, creative people. She also runs different businesses and loves to make things more beautiful.With Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, Eva poses the very comforting concept that the big scary monster under the bed is just a monster in your head.
