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.
