More than a gift
A book grandma and grandpa keep reading with their grandchild
Flowers are sweet and chocolate disappears quickly. A personal book becomes part of a moment that returns again and again: on the sofa while babysitting, after playing, or right before bedtime.
Grandma or grandpa does not just get a name in a story. They join in as a sidekick, with small details that make their bond with your child recognizable: a regular outing, a joke, or a favorite place.
A gift with their own story
A shared read-aloud moment

FAQ
Questions about a personal gift for grandma and grandpa
Which occasion is this gift for?
A birthday, Grandparents' Day, the holidays, or no occasion at all. Pick one recognizable moment that truly belongs to them, like a regular outing or ritual; that usually works better than cramming in every memory.
Can grandma or grandpa really join the illustrations?
Yes. You add grandma or grandpa as a sidekick. A photo helps us make them recognizable in the illustrations and bring them back throughout the story.
Can I include both grandma and grandpa in the book?
The book has one main character: your child. You can add one sidekick, so grandma or grandpa, to keep the story clear and recognizable. Want to surprise both? You can create two books.
Can I see the book before ordering?
Yes. You create a free example book first. Only when you are happy with it do you order the luxury hardcover.
