The word your family actually uses
Nonna's village. Abuela's street. Popo's market. Yaya's kitchen. Grandma's language. Grandpa's town. The kinship word is the story — not a label swapped onto a premade vacation.
A first-trip hardcover
The first visit to grandparents' country, kept as a book
The first time they walked the street, tasted the food, or heard the language where Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Yaya, Grandma, or Grandpa grew up. That real family memory becomes an 8.5″ hardcover. The child is the illustrated hero of a story that happened.
Read it tonight. Keep it forever.

We write that story and illustrate the child as the hero. The hardcover is $49. Shipping is added at checkout (about $10). Books are made to order and ship in about two weeks after you approve the proof.
How a heritage visit becomes a hardcover
1. Name the visit
The street they walked, the food they tasted, who they held onto — the crossing you still tell.
2. Keep their word
Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Yaya, Grandma, Grandpa, or the name your family says. That kinship word stays in the book.
3. Read a private proof
We write the story around that memory and illustrate the child as the hero. You read a private proof before anything is printed. Order the hardcover when it feels like your family's trip.
Not a name dropped into a premade adventure
Name-in-story books put a child's name into a plot written in advance. A first-trip hardcover starts from the visit that happened in your family. The child is the illustrated hero of that real story.

What is a hardcover of a first trip to grandparents' country?
It is an 8.5″ hardcover of a real family memory — the first visit to the place Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Grandma, or Grandpa grew up. Khrome's Grandparent Book writes that crossing and illustrates the child as the hero. Read it tonight. Keep it forever.
Can the book use Nonna, Abuela, Popo, or Grandma?
Yes. The book uses the word your family actually says — Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Yaya, Grandma, Grandpa, or their word. That kinship word stays in the story.
How does a heritage trip become a hardcover?
You tell us what happened on the first visit and who was there. We write that real family memory, send a private proof, and print an 8.5″ hardcover when you approve it. Made to order; about two weeks after you approve the proof.
How is a first-trip hardcover different from a name-in-the-story book?
A name-in-the-story book inserts a name into a plot written before your family existed. A first-trip hardcover starts from the visit that happened — the street, the food, the language — and makes the child the illustrated hero of that real story. For the side-by-side, read the comparison.

The keepsake hardcover is $49 USD. Shipping is added at checkout (about $10 to Canada and the U.S.). The printed book is the product.
