Product Description
by Gerard V. Aflague (Illustrator), Mary C. Aflague (Author)
This is a colorful story of a parent's love for their little girl or little Chamorrita as they are known in the Pacific Islands of the Marianas. It is a book that teaches the child the meaning of the three words "Hu Guaiya Hao" which means I love you. To do this in a meaningful way, we use colorful tropical illustrations to communicate the deep love one has for their little Chamorrita. Using a repeating pattern that reads "Little Chamorrita, did I tell you?", little Chamorritas everywhere will be inspired and understand true island-inspired love and the cultural meaning of "Hu Guaiya Hao". Read this book as a bedtime selection. Makes a perfect gift to a daughter, niece, grandchild, or other little Chamorrita for a birthday, baby dedication, for the holidays, and more.
