Will their parents be okay with this?

It’s a gift for their child, made with their help. It isn’t a lecture or a tract. If faith is a tender subject in the family, send it as a gift: Mom or Dad makes it and approves every page before it prints.

I don’t know all their favorite things.

Ask. That phone call, “What are they into right now?”, is part of the gift. You’ll need their name, a clear photo of their face, and a few details about their world.

Does this replace the Bible or church?

No. Church matters. This helps them connect the God of Scripture with their own everyday life, at home.

Will the character look like them?

Ava’s character above was drawn from one photo. Whoever makes the book sees the character in the first few minutes, free, and approves every page before we print.

How does the gift work?

You pay for the book and add a personal message. You get a link to send to Mom or Dad by text or email. They open it, make the book with their child’s photo and favorites, and approve every page before it prints. They have 90 days to claim it, and shipping is free.

Can I make one for each grandchild?

Yes. Each book is made from scratch for one child, so siblings and cousins each get their own: their own face, their own world, their own dedication.

I’m not good with technology.

If you can send a photo from your phone, you can make this. Or send it as a gift and let Mom or Dad do the making.

For grandparents · Ages 3–6

A grandmother and her granddaughter reading a book together at bedtime

You want them to know God for themselves, but...

We’ve asked that same question for our own children.

No book can promise that. But you can tell them who He is, and what He says about them.

Before they were born, He knew them. They’re already loved.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”

That’s how every AlreadyLoved book begins, and how it ends.

Your faith, handed down.

…the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois…

You get a handful of days a year to tell them the most important thing you know.

Every day, seeds go into their heart. You want a few of them to be yours.

More than “Grandma believes in God.”

You want them to know it for themselves. Every third page, they answer:

Who are you?: I am already loved.
Who said that?: God said that!
What can change that?: Nothing!

Next time you visit, ask them, “Who are you?” and listen.

Children remember words better when they say them out loud. Icht & Mama, Journal of Child Language, 2015

“…we have heard for ourselves…”

“Grandma! That’s ME!”

One photo of your grandchild becomes their character, then their cover. Make it yourself, and your name goes on it.

A grandmother and her grandson reading their AlreadyLoved book together at bedtime

A thousand bedtimes. You’ll be there for a few.

That’s about how many there are between their third birthday and their sixth. You’ll be there for a handful. The book will be there for the rest.

On the nights you’re not in the room, Mom or Dad opens it. It came from you, and the Father’s words run all the way through.

You don’t have to be there to be the one who said it.

…tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord…

Something they can hold.

A hardcover on their shelf, with their name on the cover.

Screens get updated. Toys get outgrown. A book they love gets read until the spine goes soft.

It says the same true thing at three, at thirteen, and at thirty.

A dove is hidden on every page, a sign that God is with them. One day they’ll read about the dove at Jesus’ baptism and smile.

A grown woman reading a book to her young daughter at bedtime — Years from now, they may still have the book you made, and be reading it to their own little one.

You won’t be at every bedtime. Your gift can be.

Plant the Father’s words in a book they’ll keep long after the visit ends.

We made AlreadyLoved because we saw what establishing an identity early did to give our kids a foundation.

We pray your grandchildren know it too.
