Father's Day - for a daughter

A personalized father's day book for your daughter

A Father's Day gift with them both in it: a storybook where his child is the hero of an adventure, illustrated from a photo, ready to read together. For a daughter: an adventure where she is the recognizable star on every page.

The gift problem with dads is that they rarely want anything. This sidesteps it - it is not really a gift for him to own, it is an excuse for twenty minutes at bedtime with his child as the hero. The dedication page is where you say the thing that is hard to say out loud.

What to know when you are buying for a daughter

The thing that lands hardest with a daughter is not the story - it is the moment she recognizes her own face on the cover and understands the book is about her specifically. Choose a photo where she looks like herself rather than her most photogenic self: a clear, well-lit, forward-facing shot beats a beautiful profile every time, because the engine works from the face it can see. And pick the story around what she does, not what you would like her to be into.

A dedication in your voice

For our girl, who is braver than she knows. All our love, Mum and Dad

The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.

One practical tip

Use a front-facing photo in good light. A gorgeous side-on shot produces a weaker likeness than a plain one taken straight on.

Common questions

When is Father's Day?

The third Sunday of June in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland - 20 June in 2027. In Australia and New Zealand it is the first Sunday of September instead, so check which one applies to you before you order.

What do you give a dad who says he does not want anything?

Something that is about his child rather than about him. A storybook where his own child is the hero gives him a reason to sit down and read rather than an object to find space for.

Can I add a message from the children?

Yes. Every book has a dedication page, and it prints inside the book - so it stays with it rather than being thrown away with the card.
