What if your heart was a house? What would it look like inside? Solena carries a house within her—not made of bricks or wood, but built from memories, emotions, and all the quiet things she’s never said aloud. Some rooms are locked. Some lean from the weight of old storms. And yet, through it all, Solena endures—tiptoeing through sadness, sweeping up courage, and keeping the lights on as best she can. But when someone finally sees her house and chooses to sit beside her rather than run, Solena begins to uncover something magical: the power to rebuild, to choose who enters, and to finally call her heart a home. The House Inside Me is a beautifully illustrated, heart-tendering story about trauma, healing, and self-empowerment. Written with lyrical warmth, it speaks to children navigating big feelings and to the inner child still growing inside every adult. A story for anyone who's ever wondered if they're too messy to be loved—this book reminds us: You are not broken. You are becoming.

Aria loved summer, but it came with a downside—whenever the temperature rose above 29°C, she’d get nosebleeds. Despite this, she learned to carry tissues and stay cool. One evening, while walking in the forest, Aria discovered a glowing creature made of lava. Though its fiery appearance seemed intimidating, the creature looked lonely. "Hey there," Aria called. The lava monster, whom she named Ember, sighed, showing no aggression but a sense of weariness. Aria realized Ember’s heat made him isolated and decided to help. She returned home, grabbed her towel, and sat at a safe distance from Ember, offering water and snacks. Over time, Ember inched closer, his heat cooling around the edges. They met regularly, with Aria sharing stories while Ember silently listened. She learned that Ember had wandered far from home, seeking warmth but finding only solitude. One weekend, Aria took Ember to the beach, where the ocean breeze helped balance Ember’s heat. They sat together, sharing the towel, with the warmth of Ember and the coolness of the ocean blending perfectly. One day, Ember surprised Aria by cooling down significantly. His heat no longer triggered her nosebleeds. "You’re cooling down?" she whispered. Ember made a soft noise, showing he had adjusted his temperature to make her comfortable. Aria smiled, grateful for their unique bond. From that day, Aria and Ember’s friendship grew, finding a balance of warmth and coolness, a companionship that was perfect without causing any pain.

**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.
