The grandchild as the hero, and the grandparents in the story too

Upload a photo of the grandchild and one of grandma or grandpa, and both become characters in the book. The story can be about the things they always do together – baking cakes, picking blackberries or sleeping over – or about an adventure they have never had. There is room for up to five characters, so brothers and sisters, cousins and both grandparents can all be in it at once.

Ideas for the book

Choose a theme the grandchild and grandparents share: baking, the forest, sleepovers or a treasure hunt in the garden. The book idea A day at Grandma's is a good place to start. Add their own places and habits to your wishes for the book – the walk to the park, the kitchen, the card game after dinner – and they will recognise themselves on every page.
