For grandparents
Give your grandchild a story where they're the hero
Toys get outgrown in a season. A story where your grandchild sees their own face on every page — that gets asked for again and again, and read down a phone line across any distance. Make it in minutes from one photo, no tech skills required; if you can attach a photo to an email, you can do this.
Ready in ~2 minutes · Hardcover keepsake optional · Narrated audio + PDF included

Why grandparents love this
- It stars THEIR face — your grandchild painted into every page from one photo.
- Distance-proof: send the story to their tablet tonight, with warm narrated audio for when you can't be there to read it.
- Write yourselves in — a story about a day at Grandma's house becomes a memory they keep.
- The hardcover version makes the keepsake shelf; the digital version makes Tuesday bedtime.
- The first story is free, so you can see their face light up before spending anything.
Easier than online grocery shopping
- 1Ask the parents for a recent photo (you probably have forty already).
- 2Tell us the grandchild's name and age — we've pre-filled a day-at-grandma's moment you can adjust.
- 3Read the finished book together in about two minutes — in person, on a video call, or as narrated audio.
Rather let the parents drive?
Send a Lumora gift card to your son or daughter — they handle the photos and details, the grandkids star in the stories, and you're the grandparent whose gift gets requested at bedtime by name.

I'm not technical. Can I really do this?
Yes. You need exactly three things: the child's name, their age, and one photo. The form walks you through it step by step, and if anything goes wrong, a real person at the studio reads every email.
We live far away. How does the grandchild get the story?
Instantly — the story travels as a link or a PDF to the parents' phone, with optional narrated audio. Many grandparents read it aloud on a video call while the child follows along on their screen.
Can I be in the story too?
Yes — write yourself in. 'A day at Grandma and Grandpa's house' is one of the most-loved story moments; you'll be in the words and the warmth (the illustrations star the grandchild).
Is a printed copy available?
Yes — any story can be ordered as a printed hardcover with worldwide delivery, typically arriving in 2–4 weeks. The digital story is instant, so the reading never waits on the postman.
Every story passes layered safety filters tuned for young readers, the parents can preview everything, and if a story isn't delightful we refund it — that's the studio promise.
