It was snack time again, so Emil brought the wooden bowl filled with berries to the edge of the path. He held the gift in his hands, waiting for the little dragon to come and feast. The dragon landed softly and reached for the sweet fruit. Emil watched with joy, happy that he could share his favorite berries with his best friend.

Make a book now
This is how it arrives
As an eBook on the tablet, by email, to read aloud wherever you are. It works the same on a phone or a computer.
Why a book of their own is the better gift
There are enough toys, and the third jigsaw disappears into a cupboard. A book the child appears in gets fetched out again and again: “Grandma, read this one with me!” And the first page says who it came from: your dedication, in your words. The book stays, long after the grandchild has grown.
What you need
A photo of the child's face: a phone picture the parents send you is plenty. Then the name, the age and a choice of eight stories: five adventures (a lantern walk, the sea, outer space, a tiny dragon, a day at the fire station) and three for special occasions (a birthday, goodnight, a new baby). Ordering takes three steps, with no account and no app.
By email first, then for the shelf
The book arrives first as a PDF by email, usually within a few minutes. You can look at it together on a tablet, forward it to the parents, or print it and tie a ribbon round it.
For the bookshelf in the child's room you can then order the same book as a hardcover, with a firm cover, 21 × 28 cm, to any address in Germany, including straight to the family. €29.99 incl. VAT, your eBook payment already included. Shipping €5.95, free from two copies.
More on this in the guide: From what age to read aloud, and which book fits? and Book dedication for a child: 30 examples and three rules.
And afterwards, a hardcover for the shelf
Afterwards, if you like, a hardcover for the shelf: €29.99 incl. VAT, your eBook payment already included. Shipping within Germany €5.95, free from two copies.
I have no photo. What can I do?
Ask the parents for a phone photo by WhatsApp or email. A picture of the face, from the front, in daylight is enough. You upload it straight from your phone when you order.
Can I make a book for each of my grandchildren?
Yes. Each child gets their own book with their own photo, name and dedication. Simply order once per child, with different adventures if you like.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You order as a guest in three steps and pay in the last one; the payment options are shown there. No subscription. The eBook comes by email with no shipping costs; shipping applies only to the hardcover.
