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.

When a mysterious golden key appears on Mr. C’s desk, Rose, Adrian M., and Aaliyah are the only ones who see it shimmer. The key hums with energy, and when they touch it together, the classroom transforms into a swirling tunnel of light. They land in Civicara, a magical city where buildings float, roads rearrange themselves, and glowing symbols represent the rules that keep everything running smoothly. Guided by Archivus, a wise owl-like guardian of Civicara, the trio embarks on a quest to restore balance to the city. The Laws of Light that keep streets safe are flickering, the Fountains of Health that provide clean water and care have stopped flowing, and the Flame of Service—which powers the firefighters' and sanitation workers’ abilities—is dimming. Without these forces, the city is falling into chaos. To set things right, Rose, Adrian, and Aaliyah must visit different parts of Civicara: The Hall of Laws, where they learn how fair rules protect everyone and must fix a broken law book. The Healing Gardens, where they help magical doctors and learn about health and safety. The Service Forge, where they work alongside magical sanitation workers, firefighters, and teachers to restore the Flame of Service. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and courage, the three friends bring Civicara back to harmony. When they return to Mr. C’s classroom, they realize their own community is just as important—every worker, rule, and service helps keep their world running. And just maybe, if they listen closely, they can still hear the hum of the golden key, reminding them that they have the power to make a difference.

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.
