For grandparents
A book where your grandchild is the hero, and you can be in it too
Your grandchild becomes the hero of a picture book with a song written for the story. Grandma and Grandpa can appear as themselves, and a birthday reminder every year leaves time to make the next book before the big day.
Free to start: the hero and a personal cover. Full book + song: $29.99 once, or two books a month for $24.99. Digital, with a PDF to print. Purchases open soon.
How it works when you're the grandparent
The parents set it up once; from then on you can be in the stories.
-
The parents add the photos
Photos of a child can only be added by a parent or guardian, so Mom or Dad takes three quick photos in the app. It takes about ten minutes, and the hero, the cover and the story samples are free.
-
You send your own photos
From the family page, the parents can send you a private link. Open it on your phone, add up to three photos of yourself (no account, no password) and you're drawn as yourself in the books. Grandparents in the story come with the subscription.
-
Read it together, or print it
Every book reads on a phone or tablet, sings its song in film mode and downloads as a PDF. Print copies for the family at home or at a print shop: the books are yours to share privately with family and friends.
A new book for every birthday
Nobody has to remember: the app reminds the parents.
Birthday reminders
Add the birthday once in Important dates. We send a reminder three weeks and one week before, every year, in time to make a birthday book.
Series to collect
Some stories come in series: your grandchild stars in every episode, and each new book joins the collection.
Stories for real moments
A first night at Grandma's, a new baby, the first day of school, a fear of the dark, potty time, Christmas. In English and Spanish.

The photos stay private
Only a parent or guardian can add a child's photos. They're stored privately on our server, used only to draw the hero, never used by us to train AI and never published, and the parents can delete them at any time.
How we handle photos: the privacy policy →Questions grandparents ask
Can I buy it as a gift without the parents?
Not on your own today. A child's photos can only be added by a parent or guardian, and there is no gift card or gift checkout yet. The simplest way is to send this page to the parents and set it up together, even on the same sofa.
Can I be in the book?
Yes. Once the parents add you in My family, they can send you a private link to add up to three of your own photos, and you appear as yourself in the stories. Grandparents, brothers and sisters, pets and friends come with the subscription.
Can the whole family have a copy?
Every book downloads as a print-quality PDF. Print it as often as you like and share it privately with family and friends. We don't sell printed books.
How much is it?
$29.99 for one book with its song, paid once, or $24.99 a month for two books with a song each, cancel anytime. The hero, a personal cover and the story samples are free. Prices are in US dollars. Purchases open soon.
Which languages?
English and Spanish. Each story is written natively in each language, not translated word for word.
Is it made with AI?
Yes, and we say so. The StoryMoon team writes the stories with AI writing tools, and the illustrations, the song and the read-aloud voice are made with AI tools. Every book is labelled. How we use AI.
