TRESSY AND THE ITAK: Guam Storybook Series

By Amy Aguon

Guam is a beautiful island in the Pacific Ocean, home to the Chamoru people and rich in traditions passed down through stories, songs, and nature. One such story is about the itak, a bird that is rarely seen--but when it appears, especially around homes, people say it brings news of a baby on the way. In Chamoru culture, nature is full of signs and meaning. Families are large, loving, and closely connected, and every new baby is a celebration. Elders like Nana are keepers of knowledge and pass it on through storytelling. In Tressy and the Itak, we celebrate the joy of family, the wonder of tradition, and the magic of listening to the world around you. Just like Tressy, children all over the world can find magic in nature--and in the love of their family.
