A Family Legend
Grandpa is the hero on every page, his saying returns as a chorus and the grandchildren are drawn beside him in the later chapters.
Living far apart · for your grandpa
A book for a grandpa far away: his stories and sayings, with the grandchildren drawn in
The book is about him: the thing he always says, what only he does and the story he retells, written up by whoever knows him best, with up to three grandchildren drawn in beside him. It asks three questions, and up to three more if you want more of the book to be yours, and a phone call with him is a good way to collect the answers.
Which book, and why
Twelve Reasons Why
A grown grandchild can write their own thanks here: each reason is tied to a moment with him, and a visit, a letter or a Sunday call all count.

Common questions
Can the calls and visits be in the book?
Yes, if they are in your answers. A call he never misses can be what he is known for, and the question about what he taught you by doing it takes a visit as easily as a summer at his house.
Does he need to know about it first?
You confirm at setup that everyone drawn has agreed to appear. For a surprise, that is your word that he knows about the book or has given his permission. You read the whole text free before paying, and nothing prints until you approve every page.
Must the photos of him and the grandchildren be taken together?
No. Everyone in the book is drawn from their own picture, so a recent photo of each person is enough. A printed book that arrives damaged, misprinted or not as approved is reprinted free.
