A kitchen memory hardcover

The afternoon in the kitchen, kept as a book

A grandchild on a stool next to Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Yaya, Grandma, or Grandpa. That real kitchen memory becomes an 8.5″ hardcover. The child is the illustrated hero of a story that happened.

Read it tonight. Keep it forever.

What the book is

The Grandparent Book is an 8.5″ hardcover of a real family memory. You tell us the kitchen scene and the word the child actually uses. 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 kitchen scene becomes a hardcover

  1. 1. Name the scene

    The stool, the dough, the recipe card, who stood where — the afternoon you still tell.

  2. 2. Keep their word

    Nonna, Abuela, Popo, Yaya, Grandma, Grandpa, or the name your family says. That kinship word stays in the book.

  3. 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 kitchen.

The word your family actually uses

Pasta with Nonna. Tamales with Abuela. Dumplings with Popo. Cookies with Grandma. Spanakopita with Yaya. The kinship word is the story — not a label swapped onto a premade plot.

Not a name dropped into a premade adventure

Name-in-story books put a child's name into a plot written in advance. A kitchen memory hardcover starts from something that happened in your family. The child is the illustrated hero of that real story.
