From the cover:
Where do you feel most at home?
Ellie Mae knows every corner of her small town—the friendly faces, the familiar shops, the hidden spots that make it hers. It’s a place full of charm, tradition, and the simple magic of everyday moments.
Hometown is the first book in the Ellie Mae Explores series, a heartwarming celebration of community, belonging, and the places that shape us. With gentle storytelling and nostalgic illustrations, this book invites readers of all ages to slow down, look closer, and appreciate the unique character of their own hometowns.
Perfect for families who love local adventures and cozy bedtime stories—Hometown reminds us that sometimes the most special destinations are the ones right outside our door.
