Las Cruces, NM, March 30, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Ray Jaramillo, a loving husband and father, as well as a dedicated educator, advocate, and lifelong learner with a passion for early childhood education, has completed his new book, “Gust, Gust, Gust: The Next Beat”: a heartfelt tale of family and tradition that follows two siblings who discover a pair of special bongos that were once used to help their father.
With thirty years of experience as a classroom teacher, center director, and owner at Alpha School, Ray Jaramillo has played a pivotal role in shaping early learning experiences for young children. He has also served as a governor-appointed member of New Mexico’s Early Learning Advisory Council and spent six years as an elected member of the Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education, advocating for children and families at both the local and state levels. In addition to his work in early childhood education, the author has taught graduate courses at Erikson Institute and is currently teaching early childhood courses at Western New Mexico University.
“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,” writes Jaramillo. “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.”
