Manuel’s Mural

I never dreamed I’d find the perfect voice for Manuel, the nine-year-old boy whose art sparks a journey to find his Mexican culture. When I heard Annette’s audition, I broke out in goose bumps.  She is so gifted that the reader doesn’t notice her gender. She changes her voice to fit the character. What makes her narration so believable is Annette’s passion for the story. She gives the characters emotional depth.
