Eva Mendes to Release a Children’s Book This Fall

Actress Eva Mendes has announced that she will publish her debut children’s book Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries.

The children’s book will be published with Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group and released on September 17 in English and Spanish. Abbey Bryant will be doing the illustration for the book.

Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries.

“Desi, Mami and the Never-Ending Worries is a love letter to my kids and yours,” Mendes says. “Learning how to train our brain to work for us and not against us is easier said than done! At my home and in Desi’s, we try to deal with the never-ending worries and anxieties that we all have, so those negative thoughts don’t take over and dominate.”

The book is about a young girl named Desi who is scared of the monsters under her bed. Desi’s mother helps her overcome her fears by working together as a family.

“Inspired by our own nightly events with my daughters, Desi and Mami learn from each other on facing our monsters — whether under our bed or in our head,” Mendes says.

“I’m super excited to share this personal story with you. And I am especially excited that it will be available in English and in Spanish — por supuesto!”

The children’s book will be hitting shelves in the fall. Happy readiing!
