The Cot in the Living Room
Hilda Eunice Burgos
A Dominican American girl in New York City resents the children who stay overnight with her family while their caregivers work night shifts. She envies their place on the living-room cot, their access to her parents, and their view from the window. But when she finally sleeps there herself, the unfamiliar bed and nighttime shadows make her uneasy. Her experience helps her understand the visiting children’s anxiety and homesickness, especially when another child returns to stay.
