In this Spanish edition of her debut picture book Desi, mami y las infinitas preocupaciones, actress Eva Mendes writes the story of a little girl facing the endless scary worries that come just before bedtime.
Cada noche, Desi comienza con el mismo estribillo: "¡MAMI! ¡HAY UN MONSTRUO DEBAJO DE MI CAMA!".
¡Desi tiene tantos pensamientos espantosos! ¿Es su cerebro un monstruo?
Por supuesto que no es un monstruo, y mami se lo asegura. A veces, simplemente temenos preocupaciones pavorosas rondando por la mente. Y, como cualquier cosa en la vida, solo necesitas esforzarte para mejorar las cosas.
Con la guía gentil de mami, Desi se da cuenta de que ella es la dueña de sus pensamientos. Juntas ensayarán diferentes métodos para despejar la mente de las infinitas preocupaciones.
Aunque a Desi se le ocurren de vez en cuando cosas que le dan miedo, se dará cuenta de que junto a su mamá puede enfrentar cualquier pensamiento.
La actriz Eva Mendes ha escrito una historia con la que todos los padres pueden identificarse: la batalla a la hora de dormir. Inspirándose en sus propias experiencias como madre, ha escrito una historia divertida e instructiva sobre una madre y una hija que trabajan juntas para deshacerse de los pensamientos aterradores y finalmente pasar la noche durmiendo.

PreS-Gr 3-Desi, a young brunette girl, fears a monster under her bed. Is her brain playing tricks, or is it so busy that it forgets to relax, giving way to thoughts of sadness, shadows, darkness, and other scary things? Desi's mom helps her navigate her fear and find empowerment by being the boss of her brain. This picture book focuses on how a mom helps her child reach inferences about the power of positive thoughts and facing fears. The English edition, set in a small font of one-to-five lines of text, is interspersed with a handful of Spanish terms. The Spanish version flows effortlessly with a literal translation that works well in a bilingual bedtime story time. Bryant presents pleasing, digitally created art that accompanies the narrative with simplicity; thoughtful details underscore the characters' expressions and the familiar nighttime setting. The primarily single, full-page illustrations give way to sporadic spot illustrations, highlighting a soft palette of colorful art that merrily conveys the story's plot and the young girl's imagination. VERDICT This joins a long list of picture books addressing the "monster under my bed" topic, but the focus on the mother provides a realistic setting that may appeal to adults tasked with putting their kids to bed.-Kathia Ibacache
