Author: Eva Mendes Publisher: Feiwel & Friends Published: 09/17/2024 Pages: 32 Binding Type: Hardcover Weight: 1.00lbs Size: 8.00h x 10.00w x 1.00d ISBN: 9781250867438 Audience: Ages 4-8 About the Author 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.
