About this ebook
Sirena is a young Chamorro girl who loves nature. She ignores her chores as usual to go swimming in the sparkling river, at a time in Guam's history when all is pristine. Her mother utters a curse that will forever change Sirena's life, unless her godmother can help. Based on a universal “tail” of the mystery and origin of mermaids, Sirena: A Mermaid Legend from Guam, is a retelling of a classic for the next generation of Chamorro children and all to dive into.
