A storybook gift for your grandchild — starring them
Grandparents often look for a gift that feels personal and lasts longer than a toy. A personalized storybook puts your grandchild at the centre of the story. You can read it together on a video call, send the PDF to the family or print it as a keepsake.
Who it's for
Grandparents and older relatives who want a personal gift for a grandchild aged about 2 to 8, including families living far apart.

Read a sample: Leo's Cloud Bridge
Example book with fictional characters — not a customer order.
The whole house was asleep. Only Leo's eyes were open. He hugged his teddy, Peanut, and counted the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling: one, two, three… but sleep just wouldn't come. “Peanut,” he whispered, “where do you think sleep hides?” Just then a silver light drifted in through the window and the curtains gently stirred.
Leo ran to the window. The Old Moon was smiling down at him! A bridge of soft clouds stretched from the windowsill, its far end disappearing among the stars. “Come along, little traveller,” said the Old Moon in a voice as sweet as warm milk. “Sleep is waiting for you at the other end of the bridge.” Leo put on his slippers and held Peanut tight.
