GustoSinga. For Young Explorers - Marguerite C MacLean

In a world where animals still have stories to tell... one young listener changes everything.

GustoSinga: Animal Magic for Children is a beautifully illustrated, heart warming story of courage, friendship, and the quiet power of listening.

When Dinieve discovers a frightened lion cub alone in the African grasslands, she follows her instinct to help. Naming him Gusto, she begins a journey that will take them far beyond what either could imagine. Guided by Old Bet, a wise elephant matriarch, Dinieve learns that another young life is waiting - far away, deep in the rainforests of Singapore.

There, they find Singa, a timid tiger cub in need of safety, trust, and friendship.

Together, across oceans and jungles, this unforgettable story weaves:

• a lion and tiger's unlikely friendship

• the wisdom of elephants and the voices of the wild

• the importance of protecting animals and their homes

• the gentle strength found in kindness and understanding

Written in a playful, rhythmic style with warmth and humour, this story invites children to listen closely - to nature, to animals, and to their own hearts.

Perfect for children aged 4-7, families, and classrooms, GustoSinga encourages:

• empathy for animals

• emotional awareness

• curiosity about the natural world

• meaningful conversations between children and adults

Inspired by real-life experiences and a lifelong connection with animals, Marguerite MacLean brings storytelling and education together in a way that is both magical and meaningful.

Because sometimes, the softest voice... teaches the greatest lesson. Illustrated children's animal adventure.
