Meet the Author:

My passion for children’s literature stems from 30+ years in education and my re-entry into bedtime stories with the addition of my beautiful grandchildren. I created Charlie as a means for children to learn with Charlie by having a growth mindset when it comes to facing new experiences and learning new things. Children live in a world that is traveling ever faster and my desire is to help them slow down and enjoy childhood through the adventures of Charlie Chaloosy. I hope children have fun with Charlie while engaging their minds through stories that encourage them to read, write, illustrate, and dream a little.

    Giveaway – Patroosh The Hungry Pelican by Renee James @GoddessFish

    Hi Fundinmental,

    I’m thrilled to be featured on your wonderful blog with my second book in the Patroosh series, Patroosh, the Hungry Pelican. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the latest adventure of these two loveable feathered friends. 

    Fun fact: Patroosh, the Pelican, and Seamus, the Seagull are inspired by real-life interactions at the beach with my own family, I’ve channelled my passion for communications and storytelling to bring these hilarious characters to life. Through their antics children can learn important values such as kindness, sharing, perseverance, friendship and keeping these feathered friends’ homes litter-free.

    Along with my love for creativity, I have a background in communications and commercial television. I am the founder of Mystery Lane Media, my own video production company, and the creator of Patroosh.com.au an online shop. When I’m not busy creating content, I love spending time with my family, which includes my adorable pups and bunnies. We love our beach life, travelling and of course story-time. 

    I absolutely love writing children’s picture books. There’s something truly magical about the imaginative world that comes to life during story time. Hearing from families and classrooms who enjoy my books brings me pure joy and gratitude. It’s a dream come true to share my stories and bring happiness to others. One of my favourite scenes within this book is when Patreesh enters the story, the cheeky little sister! 

    I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you know any fussy eaters, I hope this story sparks some fun conversations about their food preferences.

    Thank you for hosting me on your blog, and happy reading!

    Assumption Monastery

    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.
