Father's Day - for a granddaughter
A personalized father's day book for your granddaughter
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 granddaughter: an heirloom book with her face on the cover, from someone who adores her.
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 granddaughter
A book is one of the few gifts a grandparent can send that still means something once the wrapping is gone. Because it is printed with her face and her name, it does not get handed down or grown out of the way clothes and toys do - it goes on the shelf and comes back down at bedtime. If you see her rarely, choose a story about something she is going through rather than something she likes; it shows you were paying attention, which is the actual gift.
A dedication in your voice
For our granddaughter, the heroine of every story we tell about you. Love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If you are not certain of her age in months, round DOWN when setting the reading level. A book slightly too easy gets read; one slightly too hard gets shelved.

All occasionsCommon 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.
