English Translation

The Cot in the Living Room

In this warm picture-book debut, a young Dominican American girl in Washington Heights watches her mami set up a cot in their living room every night for children whose parents work overnight shifts. Jealous that these guests get the whole living room and its view of the George Washington Bridge while she's stuck sharing a small bedroom with her snoring sister, she longs for her turn. When a night finally comes with no visitors, she gets her wish—only to discover sleeping on the cot isn't as wonderful as she imagined. A tender story celebrating Dominican community and the power of empathy.
