How to get the most from these
Read it over a video call
These work well shared between houses. A grandparent reading the same story on screen, at the same time, becomes a routine children look forward to all week.
Ask for the real version
After the story, ask the grandparent for something that actually happened to them at that age. The story is the prompt; the family history is the point.

Frequently asked questions
Can a grandparent read these remotely?
Yes. The stories are free to read online with no account, so a link is all that needs sharing.
Can I make a story with a grandparent in it?
Yes — a personalized story can include family members by name, and it can be printed as a hardcover book as a gift.
