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.

Jeremiah Johnikin was a brave sort of fellow And so friendly that when you saw him, he would always say hello Jeremiah Johnikin lived in the kingdom of a mighty king Who had a huge mess A mess that needed a hero to make it less and less You see, there lived in the forest next to the castle A giant dragon bird who always wanted to battle None of the brave knights had the courage to go “Us fight that bird? Oh no! No!” Then came Jeremiah Johnikin handsome as ever And with a confident grin he said “I will go sire, and do as you desire, I will battle this dragon bird” When everyone heard they spread the word Jeremiah Johnikin was to rid the land Of this pest that had gotten out of hand Into the woods Jeremiah went, to face that terrible dragon bird Whose scream was the most horrible thing you ever heard But Jeremiah Johnikin, brave was he, he had no fear He went where the other knights did not dare Up to that giant dragon bird, his sword in the air With one giant swipe, a jab and a smack Jeremiah Johnikin beat that dragon bird back It screamed and wailed, then lowered its tail Then fell sideways off the trail. Jeremiah Johnikin was able to see That the dragon bird was tied to a tree It wanted to go home, that’s why it screamed so loud And frightened everyone in the crowd Jeremiah Johnikin took his sword and cut the rope That had robbed the giant dragon bird of hope The Hope of going home So up he flew and away he went Free at last from his terrible torment.
