The two of you in the same story

Upload a photo of yourself and one of your grandchild, and you both become characters in the book. The story can be about what you usually do together, such as baking, fishing or walking in the woods, or about an adventure you have never had. Up to five characters fit, so grandpa, grandma and the pet can all be in it at the same time.

Ideas for grandparents

Choose the Grandparents theme, a train journey or a book idea such as A Day at Grandma's.

Do you live far apart?

A book that ties generations together

Children love hearing about when grandma was little, and being in stories about the people they love. A personalised book does both: it shows what you share, and it stays as a memory of your time together.

Remind me before the birthday

Not quite yet? We e-mail you two to three weeks before the child's birthday, in time for a printed book. Once a year, nothing else.

You turn the reminder on in the e-mail we send. We keep only the address and the date, see the privacy policy.
