Everything you need to know about Emberly Books.
A whole day of fun with Grandpa, from breakfast to bedtime. They share a secret handshake, flip pancakes, race bikes, fix a broken toy and pull up the biggest carrot in the garden.
One or two children and their grandpa. Each person gets their own illustrated character made from a photo, and they appear together throughout the story.
Yes. You type the name your family uses, and it's printed on the cover and all through the story.
Yes. It's written in short, bouncy rhymes with plenty to act out, like the secret handshake, the count of "One, two, three!" and Grandpa's T-rex roar.
Yes. It's a keepsake he can read with his grandchildren again and again, and you can add your own dedication on the opening page.
Every book is printed to order in the UK. Check the delivery estimate at checkout to make sure it will reach you in time for Father's Day.
We Love Grandpa is written for children aged 2 to 6. Younger children will enjoy spotting themselves and Grandpa in the pictures as you read aloud, while older ones can follow the words and read it to him themselves.
Your child becomes the hero of the story. We create an original illustrated character based on your photo, drawn in the book's style, and weave their name and details throughout. Because it's an illustrated character, it's an artistic interpretation rather than an exact photographic likeness, and that's part of the magic.
Yes. For each book, you can browse sample illustrations and a full example book so you can see exactly what the finished product looks like before ordering. You'll also see a preview image featuring your child. Once you place your order, your child's personalised version is then created just for you.
Your child's privacy matters to us more than anything. We use the photo for one purpose only, to create your child's character, and the moment that's done, the photo is deleted immediately. We don't store it, archive it, or use it for anything else.
One clear, well-lit photo where your child's face is fully visible and facing the camera. Avoid sunglasses, hats, or anything covering the face. A bright, sharp, front-on photo gives the best result.
Your personalised book is printed and dispatched within 3–5 working days. Delivery time is additional and depends on your shipping destination. You'll see an exact estimated delivery date and cost at checkout before you pay.
Of course, our books make a lovely gift. We never include prices or invoices in the parcel, you can add a personal dedication, and you can ship the book straight to the recipient.
