Chapel at Holy Assumption Monastery |
On fire-preparedness day, the Duck Pond neighbors are all cleaning up – all except Greedy, a bit of a hoarder. His loot causes his home to burn, and he learns a difficult lesson. |
The idea for these stories came when members of Mother Melania's former community - Saint Barbara Monastery in Santa Paula, CA - were evacuated from their monastery due to a fire that swept through the nearby mountains. On their way back home, some of the sisters stopped to buy small gifts for some children and brought home a rubber ducky sporting a fire hat. Immediately, he became Fearless the Fire Duck and soon he had a whole community of friends.

The only words Mimi seems to know are ‘me’ and ‘mine’ – until she is saved by others, during a neighborhood disaster. Through this she begins to think of others.
