How it works

  1. Tell us about them

    Their name, their age, and what they are into right now. No photo, ever.

  2. Choose the art style

    Torn-paper collage, an animal double of them, or bold silhouette. One tap.

  3. We write and illustrate it

    A new story built from your answers, illustrated page by page and read aloud by our storyteller. Your name goes on the cover as the author, with a dedication inside.

  4. Read it together, on any screen

    In minutes an email arrives with a link. Open it on a phone, a tablet or a computer and the book is there, ready to read tonight. Nothing is posted to you.

One child, three ways to draw them.

Every story is written new for your grandchild. The art is yours to choose: torn-paper collage, an animal double of them, or bold silhouette.

Book cover in torn-paper collage: a girl in a yellow raincoat holds a toy dinosaur before a full moon, under the title Maya and the Moon Garden, by Grandma Sue.
Paper collageTorn paper and soft colour. Warm, handmade, our house style.
Book cover in the animal-friend style: a small fox in a yellow raincoat gazes up at a full moon, under the title Maya and the Moon Garden, by Grandma Sue.
Animal friendYour child appears as a small animal on a big adventure.
Book cover in silhouette: a girl waves at a full moon through an arch of flowers, under the title Maya and the Moon Garden, by Grandma Sue.
SilhouetteBold shapes against colour. Graphic, calm, timeless.

Real covers from our own pipeline, made for a made-up child: one scene drawn in all three styles, so you can compare the art fairly. Your book stars your grandchild, in a story written just for them.

Every book is one of a kind.

Each child gets their own name and their own character, on the cover and inside.
