How it works

  1. 1

    One clear photo of you and one of each child. A phone photo is fine.

    We paint everyone into the story. You see it before you pay.

  3. 3

    We print and ship it

    A real person checks every page, then your hardcover is printed and mailed.

Your email Step 3 of 3

We'll show your cover here and email you a copy to keep.

Free. No card needed. By continuing you confirm you have permission to use these photos.

Inside the book

Fourteen painted spreads. Every child gets a page where they save the day, and the grown-up gets a moment with Santa that the whole family will remember.

Sample spread: the grandmother in a rocking chair with three grandchildren in pajamas by the Christmas tree

Questions

What photos work best?

A clear, front-facing photo of each person, taken in good light. Phone photos are perfect. Avoid sunglasses, hats and group photos.

Can an aunt, uncle or parent be the grown-up?

Yes. Pick who you are in step 1 and type what the kids call you. That name goes on the cover and through the whole story.

How many kids can be in one book?

Up to four. If you have more grandkids, make a second book so every child is in one.

Is the preview really free?

Yes. You only pay if you love it and decide to order.

When will my book arrive?

Most books arrive 7 to 10 business days after you order. Order by December 7 for Christmas delivery.
