Upload a photo or simply describe what they look like. We use it to create illustrations that look just like them.
Choose the scenes from your real time together — golf cart rides, baking cookies, the pool, the town square. We write the story around your visit.
Sit back while we make a beautiful, personalized storybook. You'll review every finished page on your screen — and nothing goes to the printer until you approve it.

I built I'm In The Book because I saw what happens when a grandchild visits. The photos pile up, the stories get retold at dinner, but eventually the phone goes back in the drawer. I wanted to turn those visits into something that lives on a bookshelf, something a grandchild picks up and says "read it again."
Every book is reviewed personally before it ships. If it's not something I'd be proud to give my own family, it doesn't leave our studio.
I run I'm In The Book myself from right here in Central Florida — when you email us, you're talking to the person who made your book. Not a call center, not a big company. Your neighbor.
Most personalized books swap in a name and call it done. This is different.
Upload a photo of your grandchild and we create custom illustrations that capture their likeness, hair, skin tone, and personality.
Grandma and Grandpa are characters too. They appear in the illustrations alongside your grandchild, making it a true family keepsake.
Pick from scenes based on your actual visit: golf cart rides, baking cookies, swimming at the pool. Not a generic adventure with a name pasted in.
Every single book is reviewed by our founder before it ships. If the illustrations don't meet our standard, we fix them before you ever see it.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Just a beautiful book.
Instant download, read on any device

Get StartedA keepsake they'll treasure forever
A single commissioned illustration costs $75–150. This book holds over twenty.
Plus shipping, calculated at checkout (typically $6–9 in the US).
Get Started →A grandchild's photo deserves more care than most websites give it. Here's exactly what happens to yours.
Your photo is used to create your grandchild's illustrations. That's it. It's never shared, sold, or used for anything else — and never used to train anything.
You see the complete book on your screen before anything is printed. Nothing about your book is ever a surprise.
Your book lives at a private link only you can share. Payments are handled by Stripe — we never see your card number.
Uploaded photos are automatically deleted from our servers 90 days after delivery — sooner if you ask. Your finished book stays safely stored forever, so you can download it again or order more printed copies anytime.
It takes about 5 minutes. A gift that celebrates what makes your family unique.
Start Making a Book →Your digital book is ready the same day — usually within a few hours, because every page is personally reviewed before delivery. Printed books ship in 5-7 business days.
Each book features one child and up to two grandparents, all included in the price.
Every illustration goes through a quality review before your book is finalized. We check each page to make sure it looks great before it reaches you.
No. You pay once per book. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
Yes. Your photo is used for exactly one thing: creating your grandchild's illustrations. It is never shared, sold, used for anything else, or used to train anything. Uploaded photos are automatically deleted from our servers 90 days after your book is delivered — sooner if you email us. Your finished book stays safely stored so you can reorder anytime.
No problem! You can describe what your grandchild looks like instead. Pick their hair color, eye color, and other features.
Modern AI illustration tools create the pictures from your photo, and AI helps write the story. Then our founder personally reviews every single page before your book is delivered. The software draws; a person decides it's good enough. Every story is written specifically for your grandchild, and no two books are alike.
Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
We review every book before it reaches you, and nothing goes to the printer until you've seen your book on screen and approved it. If something is clearly wrong, email us and we'll make it right. See our Happiness Guarantee for details.
No problem! Go to iminthebook.com/find-my-book and enter your email address.
Yes, anytime. Your finished book stays safely stored, so months or even years from now you can re-download the digital copy or order more printed hardcovers — one for your house, one for the grandkids' house. Just open your book link and choose "Order Printed Copies."
Grandchild visiting later this year? Tell us when — we'll send one friendly reminder so the book is ready before they arrive. No spam, ever.
