A gift from grandparents they will keep

We're parents ourselves, and we have watched our own kids climb into a grandparent's lap with a favorite book. That moment is the whole point. A storybook starring your grandchild is a gift you can actually share: read it at bedtime when you visit, or together over a video call when you can't be there.

Why is a personalized book a good gift from grandparents?

Toys get outgrown. A book where your grandchild is the hero gets read again and again, and it is the kind of thing families keep. Write a note inside the cover with the date and a line from you, and it becomes a keepsake.

Can I give one without a photo of my grandchild?

Yes. Choose Gift a book and you get a gift card with a code. The parent adds the photo and details later and sees their own free preview, and the code never expires. It is an easy gift to give from far away.

What age is it for?

Our books are written for ages 2 to 8, and the Just Because story works from age 1. See our guides for a 1 year old, a 2 year old and a 3 year old.

Which story should grandparents pick?

For the holidays, our Christmas book. When a new baby is coming, the big sister or big brother book is a sweet way to make the older grandchild feel special. For bedtime visits, Bedtime Stories.

How much does it cost?

The hardcover is $40 and the digital book is $12.99. If you are giving it for Christmas, order early. More ideas in Christmas gifts from grandparents.
