About this listen
Manuel Jesus Ramirez Rodriguez, a passionate nine-year-old boy from Mexico City, loves to paint murals like his hero, the legendary 20th century Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. He dreams of the day he will become as famous as Diego Rivera so he can take care of his family and never have to watch his father clean other people's buildings ever again. However, because of this single-minded quest, Manuel learns how his actions can affect the lives of others in ways he never imagined. Manuel takes a solo journey to learn more about Diego Rivera's art, but what he finds is a greater understanding of his own culture. The theme of this book revolves around family; however, an appreciation of who we are emerges as colorful as the soul that is Mexico.

A beautiful tale
What a wonderful story by Ms. Kato, of a boy with a passion for color, life and family. The tale comes alive with Ms. Oliveira’s story telling with a distinct voice for each person. I look forward to Ms. Kato’s next story. Highly recommend.
