Alem is a young boy celebrating his birthday, but he appears to have no home. Lost and uncertain, he asks different animals where he might belong. In the end, it is a dragon who helps him find a place to call home. This picture book gently explores themes of loneliness and the importance of friendship. It also raises a deeper question: what does “home” really mean— a physical place, a community, or something we carry within ourselves? With its vivid illustrations and a beautifully drawn dragon, this is a touching children’s book that combines warmth, imagination, and thoughtful reflection.
“He smiles and his face lights up. Home was always inside him.”
