Father's Day - for a son
A personalized father's day book for your son
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 son: a hero story he will want read one more time, every night.
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 son
Buying for your own son gives you the one advantage nobody else has: you know exactly what he is obsessed with this month, and you know it will be something else by autumn. Pick the story that matches the obsession he has right now - the book is a record of who he was at this age, which is most of why it survives the shelf. You also know his reading level better than any dropdown does, so set it honestly rather than aspirationally.
A dedication in your voice
For my brave boy - I loved watching you become this. Mum and Dad
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Set the reading level to where he is now, not where you hope he will be by Christmas. You can always order a second book later at a higher level.

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.
