Fruit Fables is a collection of nine children's stories that uses the adventures of talking animals to illustrate the godly character traits that the Apostle Paul talks about in Galatians, known as The Fruit of the Spirit.

In book 5 of the Fruit Fables series (illustrating kindness), Clamord, a boisterous, mallard duck, discovers a marshland paradise. But when he enthusiastically joins in their evening symphony, he is harshly made aware that he is not a songbird. But a disastrous storm gives Clamord an opportunity to display the talent he does possess, and his heroic act of kindness changes the hearts and the musical tone of the entire island.

It's fruitful, and it's FUN! Fruit Fables brought smiles to agrown-up like me and will positively delight the young!" Jeff Bender, Sight & Sound Theater Producing Group Writer/Director/Producer
