When the grandchild is in the story — and Grandma and Grandpa, too.
Grandparents love seeing their grandchild as the hero. They love it even more when they appear themselves — Grandma as the one who sets the table, Grandpa as the one who shows the way.
Cutting it close? The digital book is ready in minutes — even on the day itself.
