Gust, Gust, Gust: The Next Beat - Hardcover

by Ray Jaramillo (Author)

In a quiet New Mexico village where the wind carries stories and traditions, Gust grew up surrounded by familia, culture, and the comforting scent of red and green chili. Now a father, he watches with pride as his children, Ray and Molli, explore the world with the same wonder he once had.

One rainy afternoon, the siblings uncover a forgotten treasure-the very bongos that helped their father overcome his childhood fear of the wind. When they learn how the rhythmic beat of the drums once brought strength and comfort, they realize that the bongos might have the power to help someone else-Tata, who is now in the hospital.

With love, music, and courage, Ray, Molli, and Gust embark on a heartfelt journey to remind Tata-and themselves-that even in life's scariest moments, the rhythm of family and tradition will always guide the way.

Filled with warmth, cultural richness, and the enduring power of storytelling, Gust, Gust, Gust: The Next Beat is a touching tale about facing fears, honoring traditions, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
