Personalised book gifts for grandparents
By Our Family Legend · 4 October 2026
A book can star a grandparent and a grandchild together, or two grandparents and a child, up to 3 characters in all. It makes a lasting gift, especially for families who live far apart.
What to plan for
- Choose the cast. A book holds up to 3 characters, so decide who the story is about before you start.
- Preview first, then unlock. Read the cover and first 3 pages free, then unlock the Digital Edition to finish the book and download a print-quality PDF.
- Share it far and wide. Make a private share link so relatives anywhere can read the book on their phone or computer.
Making it special
- Ask for a clear photo. Or describe them in words if a photo isn't possible.
- Add a dedication. It appears on the first page, in both languages.
- Use their words. Tell the storyteller what the grandchildren call them, like Nani, Lolo or Yiayia, and the book will use it.
- Weave in their story. A village, a recipe or a song from their childhood makes the adventure theirs.
Ideas
- Grandparents overseas. The grandchildren fly to visit, and every page brings them a little closer.
- A legacy gift. A grandparent tells the story of where the family began, for the grandchildren to keep.
