Gusta & Gusto by Lea Sakran https://amzn.to/3u6RozI Leasakran.com Here are six free Coupon Codes: 3 Coupon Codes for audiobook 1, “Gusta and Gusto” 5Y2KTYX430T4 6PWYVIDG2ZCT SDHY9SCMYN1O 3 Coupon Codes for audiobook 2, “Gusta and Gusto with Commentary” MATTMU2MUO40 RZCPAI4JGZIF A5BGYOKOU6V5 If you enjoyed listening to the stories, I would be thrilled if you were in the mood to receive a review from you. Only if you are in the mood, and I promise to tell the dragon 🙂 You could leave your reviews, for example, on Downpour, Audible, Amazon, Goodreads, etc. Gusta, the rhino lady, goes through different life situations with her friend Gusto, a rhino gentleman. In its simplicity, each of the twelve chapters has a deeper meaning, with Gusta and Gusto going through humanized emotions and circumstances. However, in a fantastic “animalistic” form, touched with the breeze of charming humor, poetry, and animalistic wisdom. Timeless issues: how to live a meaningful life, stand up for yourself, learn about friendship, transmute your mindset, and train your focus on positive, empowering beliefs are themes within these stories. But also, contemporary issues are discussed: for example, Gusta’s Flamingo friend stopped flying with her feathers but is now taking the plane because the air pollution is too high. No way: Miss Flamingodream doesn’t want to risk her pink plumage fading in color or, worst case scenario, that her pink plumage turns grey. Peppered with a colorful circle of friends, there is always something to do, and when there is nothing to do, this is also an adventure. “Just jump into the refreshing mudbath and trust,” Gusta would say, and then with a promising pirouette, just flow within your creativity: for what you imagine—you create. Gusta and Gusto are not bound to a specific age group but rather build a bridge to connect different generations and thoughts with each other. Each chapter can stand on its own and beholds a message for small and big people. Wisdom and hope are valuable ingredients offering life a special glow and, last but not least, evolving within an evident attitude. Gusta and Gusto refresh and inspire our spirit with this gentle sprinkle of salt: connecting hearts through generations.

Disillusioned: Five Families and the Unraveling of America’s Suburbs by Benjamin Herold https://amzn.to/3S8GOAl Through the stories of five American families, a masterful and timely exploration of how hope, history, and racial denial collide in the suburbs and their schools Outside Atlanta, a middle-class Black family faces off with a school system seemingly bent on punishing their teenage son. North of Dallas, a conservative white family relocates to an affluent suburban enclave, but can’t escape the changes sweeping the country. On Chicago’s North Shore, a multiracial mom joins an ultraprogressive challenge to the town’s liberal status quo. In Compton, California, whose suburban roots are now barely recognizable, undocumented Hispanic parents place their gifted son’s future in the hands of educators at a remarkable elementary school. And outside Pittsburgh, a Black mother moves to the same street where author Benjamin Herold grew up, then confronts the destructive legacy left behind by white families like his. Disillusioned braids these human stories together with penetrating local and national history to reveal a vicious cycle undermining the dreams upon which American suburbia was built. For generations, upwardly mobile white families have extracted opportunity from the nation’s heavily subsidized suburbs, then moved on before the bills for maintenance and repair came due, leaving the mostly Black and Brown families who followed to clean up the ensuing mess. But now, sweeping demographic shifts and the dawning realization that endless expansion is no longer feasible are disrupting this pattern, forcing everyday families to confront a truth their communities were designed to avoid: The suburban lifestyle dream is a Ponzi scheme whose unraveling threatens us all. How do we come to terms with this troubled history? How do we build a future in which all children can thrive? Drawing upon his decorated career as an education journalist, Herold explores these pressing debates with expertise and perspective. Then, alongside Bethany Smith—the mother from his old neighborhood, who contributes a powerful epilogue to the book—he offers a hopeful path toward renewal. The result is nothing short of a journalistic masterpiece. About the author Benjamin Herold explores America’s beautiful and busted public education system. His award-winning beat reporting, feature writing, and investigative exposés have appeared in Education Week, PBS NewsHour, NPR, the Hechinger Report, Huffington Post, and the Public School Notebook. Herold has a master’s degree in urban education from Temple University in Philadelphia, where he lives with his family.
