Nuha & Anas: Home in Dover: A Gentle Story About Home, Memory, and Growing Up
Nuha & Anas: Home in Dover
A Gentle Story About Home, Memory, and Growing Up
A heartfelt picture book about an HDB childhood — and the quiet magic of the place you call home.
Some of the most precious memories of childhood aren't grand. They're the sheltered walkway you took every day. The auntie who always smiled at you. The playground swing that felt like yours. Home in Dover is a love letter to all of it.
In this gentle, rhyming picture book, readers follow siblings Nuha and Anas as they walk through their Dover neighbourhood — past tall HDB blocks, small paths, bus stops, libraries, playgrounds, little shops, and familiar corners. Along the way, they discover something quietly profound: home is not just where you live, but where your memories are made.
Written in a warm, childlike voice and inspired by real Singapore neighbourhood life, this is the kind of book children will ask to hear again and again — and parents will reach for when they need to feel a little bit grounded.

Why Readers Love the Nuha & Anas Series
The Nuha & Anas books are known for their gentle pacing, soft visuals, and the warm sibling bond at the heart of every story. Home in Dover brings that same tenderness to a setting every Singaporean will recognise — and every reader will feel.
It's more than a picture book. It's a small, beautifully illustrated reminder that the place you grew up in is still part of you.
