More than a gift — a way to stay close
Long distance? Still close.
Grandkids across the country or the world can still have an adventure with you in it — no travel required.
A tradition of their own.
Create a new story every visit, holiday, or Grandparents Day — one they'll look forward to and collect over the years.
Something to leave behind.
A printed hardcover becomes a keepsake your grandchild can hold onto long after the visit — or long after you're not there to visit.
What grandparents say
“"I live four hours from my grandkids. Now every FaceTime call ends with 'can we read the story where you fight the dragon together?' It's become our thing."”
“"I made one where my granddaughter and I go searching for her lost tooth fairy. She's asked to read it every single night for a week."”
“"My father is 81 and made one starring himself and my daughter as pirates. He printed it and it now lives on her bookshelf next to the ones I read as a kid."”
