Choosing a book for a grandparent and grandchild

I Love You Grandma and I Love You Grandpa are keepsakes made for two: your child and their grandparent. You upload a photo of each, and the two of them are illustrated together throughout the book. Grandma’s book is a tribute to her stories, warmth and wisdom; in Grandpa’s, they fish, skip stones, tinker and share bedtime stories. The name starts as Grandma or Grandpa, and you can change it to Nana, Abuela or whatever your child calls them.

Next Ready works with any grown-up, so a grandparent can join the story as Player 2. Next Player Ready? opens the four-book series with two GAME OVERs and the secret of pressing play again. Next Move Ready? is about honesty, Next Level Ready? about practice as the training wheels come off, and Next Quest Ready? about kindness and being yourself. The series comes as the complete four-book set or monthly, starting with Book 1, and the books are not sold one at a time.

Grandparents can order for a grandchild, too: personalize the book with the child’s name and a photo their parent has approved, then send it to the family’s address. Every book is hand-crafted by real artists from your photos and made for ages 2 to 10, and you see a free personalized preview of your child and their grandparent together before you buy. Give one for a birthday, Grandparents Day, the holidays or simply because.

Questions about our grandparent books

Quick answers about these books, prices and delivery.

Can Grandma or Grandpa be in the book with my child?

Yes. In I Love You Grandma and I Love You Grandpa, you upload a photo of the grandparent too, and they appear alongside your child throughout the book. Their name starts as Grandma or Grandpa, and you can change it to whatever your child calls them. In the US, including them costs $4.99 more. The Next Ready books take any grown-up, grandparents included. See how to add a parent or grandparent.

Can I buy one Next Ready book on its own?

Next Ready is available as the complete four-book set or a monthly series that starts with Next Player Ready? The books are not sold individually. Grown-up personalization is charged per book: four add-ons with the set, or one with each monthly book. See current options and prices.

Can grandparents order one for a grandchild?

Yes. Grandparents, family and friends can personalize a book with the child’s name and a photo their parent or guardian has approved, then enter the family’s address at checkout. In the US, you can also send a Magic Story+ gift subscription, and the family personalizes the books themselves. See how to buy a book as a gift.

Can I see a free preview before I buy?

Yes. Create your child’s character from one photo and see a free personalized book preview, with no account or credit card needed. The preview shows your child in a scene or on a cover from the book you choose, not every page. See how the free preview works.

What ages are these books for?

Magic Story books are made for children ages 2 to 10. Younger children enjoy them as read-alouds, and older children can follow the story on their own. Some books give their own age range on their page.
