Narrating 'Elmer, the Patchwork Elephant' Audiobooks for Penguin Random House

I love being a storyteller — especially for the littlest listeners — and connecting with them. Elmer, el Elefante Multicolor is a wonderful collection that celebrates how special each of us is, with our differences and quirks, and I had the joy of narrating its Spanish audiobooks.

It was an incredible collaboration with outstanding artists: Facundo Reyes, Carolina Ayala, Alberto Santillán, Alejandro Vargas-Lugo, Fabiola Stevenson and Álex Ruiz, under the direction of Jorge Reyes, for Penguin Random House Audio. The audiobooks are already available on every digital platform.

Reading aloud is its own magic

Every time I narrate a story, I think about the kids who will listen to it: where will they be? Who will they share it with? What emotions will it spark? Telling stories out loud has a unique glow — the narrator holds the thread, gives each character its color, and leaves room for a child's imagination to do the rest.

Elmer joins a shelf I treasure, next to Isabel Allende's 'Perla, la súper perrita' — stories in Spanish for the readers of tomorrow.
