Father's Day - for a grandson

A personalized father's day book for your grandson

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 grandson: a keepsake from grandparents he will treasure - even from far away.

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 grandson

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.

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.
