The Year You’re Not There for Christmas, Be in the Story

The digital book will: it is ready ten to fifteen minutes after you pay, on Christmas Eve if need be. Order the hardcover early — printing and delivery usually take two to four weeks, and December is the busiest month for printers and carriers, so we do not promise a date. If the post has closed, give the PDF on the day and let the hardcover follow.

The cover of your book, with your grandchild and you drawn from your photographs. No card, no sign-up, no trial that quietly starts charging. If it is not right, close the tab and you have paid nothing.

They are used for the illustrations and nothing else. We do not sell them, share them or train AI on them. Write to us and we delete them.

Yes. The delivery address does not have to be yours: the hardcover can go straight to your grandchild. We post to 43 countries — most of Europe, the UK, Ireland, the US and Canada — and delivery is included in the price. Check the country below. The digital book downloads anywhere.

There is one main character, and up to seven more people can be beside them: siblings, grandparents, parents — each drawn from their own photo. How many appear in the story depends on the plot. If each child should be the hero, make each of them a book.

Three to eight. The length and difficulty of the text follow the age you enter.

Yes. The story idea in the form is plain text: change any word, or write your own. Pictures too — five redraws come with every book.
