Meet the Author:
Mother Melania is the Abbess of Holy Assumption Monastery in Calistoga, CA. She grew up in a house that always had tons of children around, her poor parents had to read to her till they were hoarse, and from the moment she learned to read, she always had her nose in a book. So, it was only natural for her to grow up to write children's books.
She has written three series of specifically Orthodox children's books - all in verse - which celebrate the high points of God's work of salvation in the Person of Christ. Her remaining series teach children the virtues in a fun, non-preachy way.
Fearless and Friends chronicles the lives of Fearless the Fireduck (think 'fireman,' except that he's a DUCK) and Charity the Church Mouse and their friends, who get in and out of trouble based on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of their actions.
The Adventures of Kenny and Scooter is a minimal-word series featuring six-year-old Kenny and his irrepressible Boston Terrier Scooter, who take turns getting into trouble and rescuing each other from their foolish antics.
teachesWith all her books, Mother Melania is trying to celebrate virtue and God's saving work in our lives.

My Review:
I have had the pleasure of reading books by Mother Melania Salem in the past. I have found them to be a delight to read and the characters are good role models. It was an honor to have the opportunity to read their newest release, Best Buddies: What's in a Name?. I was not disappointed. While telling a beautiful tale, it teaches readers - young and old - some important life lessons. Several pages, warmed my heart, while others made me smile. I thought it was a sweet tale to read with my own children. I believe they enjoyed it as much as I did.
Best Buddies: What's in a Name? is beautifully illustrated. The pictures perfectly match the words on each page. They are a great way to keep the smallest of readers to follow along with the story and keep them engaged. They are a fantastic addition to the book.
I am giving Best Buddies: What's in a Name? a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers between the ages of four and eight years old. It would a wonderful placement on children's public library and classroom shelves. I would be interested in reading more upcoming books by Mother Melania Salem to read along with my little ones in the future.
I received a copy of Best Buddies: What's in a Name? from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Many thanks for your very kind review!
