Questions parents ask

Can I include multiple grandkids?
The current version stars one child per book. For multiple grandkids, the easiest move is one book per kid (each personalized).
Will it ship in time?
Print orders typically arrive in 5–7 business days. For specific occasions (birthday, holiday) order at least 10 days ahead.
Can I include a note from the grandkids?
Yes — as you create the book, tell us who it’s from and we print it on a signed dedication page. Many parents put a quote from the kid in their own words.
Will the illustrations actually look like my kid?
Yes. We use your photo as a reference and render every page in watercolor style with their face, skin tone, and hair. If your child doesn't light up when they see the cover, we'll refund you in full — and you keep the book.
How fast is it?
Minutes from photo to finished digital book (fully bespoke customizations take a few minutes longer). Print orders arrive in 5–7 business days, and shipping is free.
Love it or your money back. If your child doesn't light up when they see themselves in the book, we'll refund you in full — and you keep the book.
