For Grandparents
A Personalized Book for Grandparents
Grandparents tend to have everything, except a book about the family they helped raise. Our Little Book turns the grandchildren they adore, and the moments they share, into an illustrated keepsake.
The grandchildren they adore, on every page, in a book read aloud for years.
The gift for the grandparent who has everything
You will never find the right thing in a store. But you can give them something no store carries: a book starring their own grandchildren. Create the characters, add the Sunday phone calls and the kitchen-counter lessons, and we write and illustrate the rest.
A keepsake, not a knickknack
This is a real hardcover book, bound to sit on a shelf for years. Long after the wrapping paper is gone it is still there, still being read aloud, still doing its quiet work.
Built from the moments only your family knows
The garden they tend, the recipe handed down, the nickname only they use. You bring the small, true details, and they become the heart of every story. The book sounds like your family because it is made of your family.
Ideas to Start With
Every book begins with a moment. Here are a few to spark yours.
The Sunday Phone Call
The call that happens every week without fail. Turn the ritual into a gentle story about staying close across any distance.
A Lesson at the Counter
Bread, cookies, a row in the garden. The thing a grandparent quietly teaches becomes a story the grandchild keeps.
The Visit
Arriving at their house, the door opening, the same warm welcome every time. An ordinary day worth keeping forever.
Your book begins set to this occasion, with these ideas as starting points. You can change anything.
Take a Look Inside a Finished Book
Every page is written and illustrated, and the same characters carry through the whole book. Read a real one, cover to cover, before you start your own.
