Watch what happens

He found the roofer page and said it: "That's Dada."

Aiden's dad, Dan, is a roofer. Aiden could barely talk yet. He turned to the roofer page, pointed at the man on the roof, and knew exactly who it was.

Do you see your person in it?

Not a generic dad. Theirs.

If their dad climbs a roof, wires a panel, fixes the leak, builds the back step, or gets the furnace running again, this book is about him. Your grandkid will know exactly who it is, at their house and at yours.

Who it's for

If a kid looks up to someone, it fits.

The kid
Any kid, three to seven. Boy or girl, the one who watches a parent build, fix, or walk back through the door.
For Dad
New dads, tired dads, the ones who get home after bedtime. Father's Day, a birthday, or just because.
As a gift
Grandkids, nieces and nephews, a friend's new baby. Folks buy a few at a time.
Any family
Trades or not. You don't have to be blue-collar for a kid to look up at what you do.
Why it works for trades families

The furnace quits. They know who fixes it.

The vents blow cold, a baby cries, and a dad kneels at the stove. The two in the crib came back to this page three times.

"This book is great for kids of tradesmen, who hear Dad leave early in the morning and come home late at night drenched in sweat and debris."
Kylan Johnson · Amazon review

What families send us

Real homes, one book on the floor.

These aren't stock photos. Real families sent these in, dads, grandparents, big brothers, kids who sleep next to it. This is who you're joining.

Theirs just arrived.

"The perfect book for a trades family like ours. ... Our boys love reading it before bed, and even during the day, imagining what dad is doing away at work."

"Sometimes the hands a kid admires most aren't important because of what they can fix. They're special because they belong to Daddy."

Before you ask

Questions, answered.

What's in the Grandparent Gift Set?

Two copies of the hardcover picture book (one for each house), plus the printed Coloring Book and Activity Book, mailed together, and the printable library the day you order.

Where does it ship?

Everything ships together, free, to the one address you enter at checkout: yours or theirs. Keep one hardcover and hand the rest over.

Will it arrive by Christmas?

Order by December 1 for US addresses. That's the printer's date. The printables you can use tonight.

How long does it take?

Every book is printed to order: up to seven business days to print, then up to seven in the mail. Our printer, Lulu, ships it, so the label may say Lulu.

Which size do I pick?

Little Hands for three to four (thick lines, one idea per page). Big Hands for five to seven (more detail, more to find). The story reads for both.

What if it's not right for them?

Full refund within 30 days, and you keep the books. No return needed.

What shows on my statement?

CORDIS HOUSE, the small publishing house behind the book.

Why now

They're only this age once.

The years when they look up and think you hung the moon are short. You can't get a four-year-old's face back when they're nine. And if you want it under the tree this year, the deadline is real: order by December 1 for delivery before Christmas (US addresses).

The whole thing, one price

Be there the night they point and say it.

Two hardcovers, one for each house, plus the Coloring Book, the Activity Book and a printable library they'll point at before they can read a word of it.
