MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Best Buddies: What’s in a Name? by Mother Melania Salem is a book which deals with a topic I haven’t seen much in books and that is, homelessness in animals, children and adults, and in many families. This book is about a homeless teenager and a homeless dog who finds each other and helps each other along the way. The story is short, powerful and to the point as we read about this teen and dog duo. It is a fun idea to let Rob name his own dog, and children liked getting involved.

The illustrations by the author are wonderful to use with the words of the story to talk to children about homeless people and animals. This is so important because it can help children know how they can help a homeless person or animal. This book could also help a homeless person to know how to deal with this problem as well. I highly recommend this book to any school classroom or school library.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

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.
