“Mimi the Mynah” is the third book in Mother Melania’s “Fearless and Friends” series. These modern-day animal fables teach virtue in a genial, child-accessible manner. The series is being re-launched in conjunction with the August 2022 release of the fifth book in the series “Slowpoke Sloth and Busy Beaver: Easy Does It!”

Each book in the series addresses certain virtues and their corresponding character flaws. In addition, they all strive to balance personal responsibility with compassion, while celebrating healthy community. “Mimi the Mynah” contrasts the self-centered Mimi the Mynah with the ever generous and loving Charity the Church Mouse. Mimi, who only knows two words “me” and “mine,” has exhausted the patience of the other denizens of the Duck Pond – all except Charity, who never gives up on her. Then fire hits the Duck Pond, and Mimi gets a chance to live up to Charity’s relentless love. Cayce-Grace Halsell brings all the animals to life with her realistic yet endearing illustrations. The series is published by Holy Assumption Monastery.

Mother Melania has a background in agricultural research, theology, and education (elementary to college). This helped shape the creation of the books by allowing her to present deep topics in easily grasped forms.

Mother Melania wrote this series when she was helping out with the religion classes at an Orthodox Christian Classical School near the monastery. Among other things, these classes focused on teaching the traditional Christian virtues and vices. The challenge was to do this in an engaging, non-judgmental way. As Mother Melania had already written several series of children’s books, she started looking for a premise for a new series.

The premise came when the sisters were returning to the monastery after being evacuated due to fire. On the way home, some of the sisters stopped at a novelty store to pick up toys for children visiting the monastery. Among the toys was a rubber duckie wearing a fireman’s jacket and hat. Thus was born Fearless the Fire Duck, along with his virtuous and not-so-virtuous friends.

Mother Melania has hopes that these books will present the virtues as what they are – powers that allow children and adults alike to live the lives of joy and love that God meant them to live.

The author made a point of thanking the children of St. John of Damascus Academy for their part in the creation of the book, saying: “They helped bring this series to life with their input and general love of life.”
