What to know when you are buying for a grandson
Read the cover and chapter one free - you only pay if it looks like them.
Grandparents are usually buying from a distance, and that changes what the book is for. It is not another thing in the toy pile - it is a way of being in the room on a night you are not there. The dedication page does most of that work, and it is the page his parents will still have in twenty years. If you are not sure what he is into at the moment, that is normal; ask for the current obsession, or pick a milestone story, which ages better than a fad.
A dedication in your voice
To our grandson - we thought of you on every page. With all our love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Ship it straight to his house and write the dedication as if you are reading it aloud to him. That page is the part that gets kept.

What makes a personalized book a good gift for a grandson?
It is the one gift that cannot be duplicated: your grandson 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 grandson'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.
