A Family Legend
She is the hero from the first page to the last. Her sayings return like a chorus and the grandchildren appear beside her in the later chapters, so she opens a book with the whole family in it.
Living far apart · for your grandma
A book for a grandma who lives far away, with the grandchildren drawn into her story
This is a book about her, given to her: her saying, her cooking and the story she tells again and again, with up to three grandchildren drawn in so they are on the pages when they cannot be at her table. It asks three questions, and up to three more if you want more of the book to be yours, and whoever answers needs to know her well, such as a parent or a grown grandchild.
Which book, and why
Twelve Reasons Why
Choose this when a grown grandchild wants to say thank you in their own words: each reason is tied to a memory with her, whether it happened at her table or on a call.

Common questions
Grandchildren in different places: can they all go in?
Up to three, each drawn from their own photo, so the pictures do not need to be taken together. Pick the three whose stories with her you want to tell.
How does it get to her?
Choose her address at checkout for the printed book. The production and shipping window for her country is listed on this page, counted from the day you approve, and the digital edition is a link you can send her that same day.
She is not comfortable with technology. Will she manage?
The printed book needs no screen at all, so it is the one to send. If someone is with her, the digital edition can be read aloud from a phone. You read the whole book free before you pay either way.
