One day, two grandparents, and absolutely no plan.
From $14.90
For grandparents, from their grandchildren
A book for Grandparents, from their grandchildren
The grandchildren are the heroes, and both grandparents are in the story with them - one book, not two halves.
The child is the hero of the story. Grandparents is in it with them, and the dedication is written in the child's voice.
What makes a book work as a gift for grandparents
Buying for two people at once is the reason this one is hard, and the reason a book solves it: both grandparents are in the same story rather than each getting half a gift. The grandchildren are the heroes and the grandparents are drawn in beside them, so it works on a shelf that already has everything. Give yourself a photo of each grandparent that actually looks like them day to day.
A dedication in the child's voice
For Grandma and Grandad, from the whole noisy lot of us.
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page grandparents opens.
One practical tip
Add both grandparents as separate people rather than picking one - the story is written to hold them both, and each needs their own photo.

All giftsCommon questions
Who is the hero of the book — grandparents or the child?
The child. Their grandchildren is the hero on every page, drawn from a photo you upload, and grandparents is in the story beside them. The dedication is written in the child's voice. If you are looking for a book where the grown-up is the main character, this is not that book.
Can grandparents be drawn in too?
Yes. Add them as a second person and upload one clear photo of them, and they are illustrated alongside the child on the pages where the story puts them together. You confirm you have their permission to use the photo.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes - the cover and the whole of chapter one, free, with the faces already drawn. You only pay if it looks like them.
Can more than one child be in it?
Yes. Add each child as their own person with their own photo, and the story is written to hold them all - that is what the family stories are for.
