• A Home in Her cover: All in blue tones, it's a closeup of Aoi, a trans man, lying on the floor with a moth next to him. He has freckles and dark hair, and his hand rests on the forearm of a feminine person, Eerie, who's leaning over him with her hand braced on the floor next to his head. She has a scrape on her elbow and bandages on her hand, and her light-colored hair hangs over his face with her own face cropped out of view. The man gazes up at her with sparkles in his eyes, his nose and mouth cove
  • AHIH sample page 006: This page has three panels, bordered by the branches of a jacaranda tree and a closeup of a monarch butterfly. Panel 1: Eerie holds her skirt and stares upwards toward the camera. Panel 2: Closeup of Eerie's eyes, which sparkle. Panel 3: We now see over Eerie's shoulder that Aoi has climbed the jacaranda to catch the butterfly for her, which he holds on a fingertip. He's wearing glasses and a straw hat.
  • AHIH sample page 034: One large panel of the shaded view of the east side of the house that shows through to the west-facing doorway, where the sun is setting. Kookaburras sing in branches over the house. Eerie washes her feet on the deck while Aoi sets the table for dinner inside.
  • AHIH sample page 035: Panel 1: Closeup of their dinner, consisting of fish cakes, toast, and peas. Mrs. Midgley: "Tell us about some of the places you went with your family." Aoi: "Hmm. Well, when I was nine we visited Lapland. There was more snow than I'd ever seen and the days were so short, they felt event colder. But on one clear night, we saw the most incredible northern lights display that made it all worth it." Panel 2: Mrs. Midgley, Eerie, and Aoi all sit at the dinner table. Out the door behin
  • AHIH sample page 036: Panel 1: A fly buzzes in from outside. Panel 2: Eerie hops up out of her seat and catches it in one hand. Panel 3: Eerie heads to her bedroom. Eerie: "Gonna give this one to the spider." Panel 4: Aoi laughs. Aoi: "Fly season's a lot more manageable with her around, huh?" Mrs. Midgley: "Indeed. And she better keep at it, since I won't use fly paper anymore." Panel 5: Aoi is curious. Mrs. Midgley touches her chin in thought again as she explains. Mrs. Midgley: "When Eerie was little, I
  • AHIH sample page 037: One panel on this page of Aoi meeting Eerie in her bedroom, where she's fed her huntsman spider. He looks at the jars of other bugs and critters that she keeps around her room. Around the panel, closeups of the jars and hanging branches add atmosphere. Aoi: "Are they...pets?" Eerie: "I suppose I see them similar to the chooks. It can be fun to keep them around for a little while, but I don't get too attached."
