How it works · Step 1

Step 1: It’s really them.

Send one photo. We paint their face, and you approve it before anything else happens.

Step 2

Step 2: It’s really you.

Read it aloud page by page on your phone. Or let our storyteller read it for you.

Someday they’ll play this for their own kids.

Your voice, kept with their story.

Step 3

Step 3: Fast, and safe.

Our promises

From the back of the book

Good questions, honest answers.

Will it really look like them?

You’ll see their illustrated face before you pay anything. If something looks off, we redo it for free. And if we still can’t get their face right, you get a full refund. That’s our Likeness Promise.

What if I’m not good at reading aloud?

They don’t want a perfect narrator. They want you. You record it page by page on your phone, so there’s no long speech to get through. If you’d rather not record, our storyteller can read it instead, for the same price.

Is my grandchild’s photo safe?

Yes. The photo is deleted as soon as you approve their illustrated face, and it is never used to train AI.

How fast does it arrive?

The digital book and read-aloud video arrive in minutes, and you can order right up to Christmas Eve. For the Heirloom Hardcover, order by December 8 for Christmas delivery (contiguous US).

Can I make one for each grandchild?

Yes. Each extra grandchild is +$19 for the digital book or +$35 for a hardcover. Every child gets their own book, starring them on all 24 pages.

What if they live far away?

The digital book and read-aloud video arrive in minutes, so they can hear you reading to them even when you can’t be there. The Heirloom Hardcover ships free to the contiguous US.

Does a real person check it?

Yes. Every book is checked by a real person before it’s delivered.

What do I need to get started?

One clear photo of your grandchild and their first name. You’ll see their illustrated face first, free.

The gift they’ll still have when the toys are gone.

Upload one photo tonight and see their illustrated face, free. The digital book arrives in minutes, right up to Christmas Eve.
