The Life of Grandma Rose
Hardcover $42.908 x 8 in hardcover, 12 illustrated chapters, every page approved by you before it prints.
These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh from your answers - their name woven through every page, and the answers you give us quoted word for word in the chapters.
Before there was a family to tell it to, your grandparent was growing up in a house that smelled of somebody else's cooking.
The house where it began, drawn from an old family photograph, in the clothes and colours of the time.
There was work to do and people to love, and your grandparent did both in a way the family still talks about.
A working day in the middle of life, the hero at the centre of the people who depended on them.
Now the house is loud again, and your grandparent would not have it any other way.
These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with them in it when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.
Their Life Story is the book a grandchild or a grown son or daughter gives to a grandparent: their life from childhood to today, told in twelve chapters. You answer the questions in a sentence of your own each, and those sentences are quoted word for word. Add an old photo to any answer and that chapter is drawn from it, so the young woman in the 1968 photograph is the young woman in the chapter.
It suits a grandmother or grandfather of any age, and it is often given on Grandparents Day, Mother's Day or a big birthday. Whoever writes it needs to know the stories, such as a parent or a grown grandchild, and can ask the family for the old photos. If they are no longer with us, tick the box on the setup page and it becomes a book to remember them by, written in the past tense.
For Grandma Rose, who learned every recipe by watching and never from a book.
The Legend of Grandma RoseYour grandparent has a saying the whole family can recite, a recipe nobody wrote down and a story everyone has heard more than once.
Picked for the same grandparent, told through their sayings instead of their years.

Daniel & Anna: Twelve ReasonsTheir Life Story is a book about a grown-up, written in the voice of a gift book rather than a picture book. During setup you answer six questions, and up to six more if you want more of the book to be yours, and your answers are quoted word for word in the chapters.
You upload a photo of the person the book is about, choose man or woman, and they become the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - recognizable across all 12 chapters. Anyone else in the story is drawn from their own photo, and their name and a dedication are woven in too.
Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.
Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
