I ordered a book for my daughter and she could not believe she was the main character. The illustrations were stunning and she reads it every single night before bed.

I created a book that told our entire story, from our first coffee to every little adventure we shared. The last page was my proposal. She turned the page, read the words, looked up at me on one knee, and said yes before I even finished the question.

My son never got to meet his grandmother. We wanted him to know her somehow, so we created a book telling her story through illustrated pages. When he saw her face on every page, he smiled and said "That is my Nana." He reads it every week and asks us to tell him more. It gave us something we thought we had lost forever.
