Gift ideas for grandkids: a book with your name on page one

Every grandparent has stood in a toy aisle wondering what the child does not already have. A book in which they are the hero, with your dedication on the first page, is the answer that costs little shelf space.

Why a book beats one more toy

A toy gets played with for a month. A book gets read at bedtime for years, and a child reaches for the one in which they are the hero. The dedication turns it into something of yours: your handwriting is a line in print that will sit on their shelf until they are grown.

Choosing by age

Under 3. Short sentences and a calm rhythm: The Day You Arrived, Good Night, How Far I Love You.

3 to 6. A story about what they live: the dark, a lovey, a new baby, a birthday morning.

6 to 8. A real plot with their face as the hero: I'm a Superhero or My Dog's Secret Life.

Sending it from far away

Enter the grandchild's address at checkout and the book ships there, in the USA, with shipping included. For a book with their real face, ask their parents for one clear photo. It is used only to draw the book, never reused, and deleted within 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

What do you give a grandchild that is not a toy?
A book with their name in it. It is reread at bedtime and kept long after the toys are gone.
Can I include a message?
Yes. A dedication is printed on the first page.
What if I do not have a photo?
You do not need one. The illustrated stories need only a first name and the character you choose.
