A personalized book for your granddaughter
An heirloom book with her face on the cover, from someone who adores her. Read the cover and chapter one free - you only pay if it looks like them.
What to know when you are buying for a granddaughter
A book is one of the few gifts a grandparent can send that still means something once the wrapping is gone. Because it is printed with her face and her name, it does not get handed down or grown out of the way clothes and toys do - it goes on the shelf and comes back down at bedtime. If you see her rarely, choose a story about something she is going through rather than something she likes; it shows you were paying attention, which is the actual gift.
A dedication in your voice
For our granddaughter, the heroine of every story we tell about you. Love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If you are not certain of her age in months, round DOWN when setting the reading level. A book slightly too easy gets read; one slightly too hard gets shelved.

What makes a personalized book a good gift for a granddaughter?
It is the one gift that cannot be duplicated: your granddaughter is the named, illustrated hero on every page, drawn from a photo you choose. That is also why it survives the shelf - it is a record of who they were at this age, not another toy.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. You get the cover and the whole of chapter one free, with your granddaughter's face already drawn in. You only pay if it genuinely looks like them.
How long does it take?
The digital book is ready in minutes. A printed keepsake is made to order - the delivery page carries the current cut-off dates for each market.
What photo works best?
One clear, well-lit, forward-facing photo. A beautiful side-on shot produces a weaker likeness than a plain one taken straight on, because the illustrator works from the face it can actually see.
