Can all the grandchildren contribute?

Yes — we have a multi-contributor brief format where each grandchild writes their own memory or thank-you. We illustrate each one.

Can it include a portrait of grandma?

Yes — we paint her from a photo as a portrait illustration. Warm and careful. $110 per illustrated portrait.

Can we include her recipes or stories?

Yes — her signature recipe can be illustrated as a spread, and her family stories can be written out and illustrated.

Is this the same as the Mother's Day book?

The format is similar — 16 pages, hardbound — but the grandma book is framed as a collective tribute from the grandchildren, not a single-author reflection.

How long does it take?

Production is 7-10 days, then allow time for printing. Order 3 weeks before the occasion to be safe.

N° 01What goes in it

Her recipes, her stories, what each grandchild remembers

We give each contributing family member a prompt: one memory, one thank-you, one thing they love about her. We illustrate each one as a spread — her recipe as a still-life, her garden as a watercolor, her phrase as calligraphy. The result is a book that could only be about her.

Multi-contributor format

Each grandchild (and child) writes their own spread. We brief everyone and illustrate each contribution.

Portrait illustration

We paint grandma from a photo — warm and careful. $110 per portrait.

Recipe or story spread

Her signature dish illustrated as a still-life, or a family story written and illustrated as a memory spread.

N° 02Occasions

Birthday, milestone, or just because

Grandma books are ordered for milestone birthdays (70th, 80th, 90th), Mother's Day, and as general keepsakes. The book can be framed for any occasion — or for no occasion at all.
