Her Baptism Day, Your Family's Faith, One Keepsake
The faith that carried your family this far is welcoming its newest member. Mark it with a book made only for her.
Create Their Story — Free PreviewYou have stood in a sanctuary like this before. Maybe it was her mother in the white gown then, blinking up at the same kind of light through the same kind of windows. Baptism is how your family has welcomed every new arrival for as long as anyone can remember, and now it is her turn.
A gift from her grandparents should carry some of that history. Delilah & Mia turns one clear photo of your granddaughter into an original illustrated storybook where she is the hero: her wisps of hair, her round cheeks, her exact little self, drawn into a gentle adventure she will grow into.
The printed keepsake edition was practically made for grandparents. Alongside the 12-page story, the expanded 32-page book includes a customizable dedication page, a family tree page that shows her exactly where she fits, a photo page, and a printed personal letter: your words, set in type she can read for the rest of her life.
The faith came down through you to reach her. This book lets her hold a small piece of that hand-off, long after the gown goes back into its box.

Why Grandparents Reach for This on Baptism Day
Grandparents give differently. You are not trying to win the gift table; you are trying to hand something down. A personalized storybook works on that level: a first heirloom, made at the very start of her story rather than found at the end of someone else's.
And unlike the porcelain keepsakes of past generations, this one is meant to be touched. Her parents will read it until the pages soften, and when she is old enough she will find your words waiting at the front of the book.
A family tree, printed
The 32-page keepsake edition includes a family tree page, a grandparent favorite, because she can see exactly where she fits.
Words that outlast the day
The dedication page holds your blessing in print, where she can return to it at every age.
Accurate to her
One clear photo is enough for our AI to carry her real features through all of the artwork.
Three ways to give
Digital at $14.99, softcover at $39.00, or the hardcover keepsake at $49.99, our most popular.

Story Themes They'll Love
For a granddaughter baptized in her first year, these themes keep the wonder soft and the pace unhurried.
The Moonflower Garden
She wanders a garden where flowers bloom only for her, under a kind moon. Quiet, luminous, and just right for the newest member of the family.
A Jar of Gentle Fireflies
Tiny lights gather to keep her company on an evening walk home. It carries that watched-over feeling without a single heavy word.
The Whale's Gentle Crossing
A patient whale carries her across a calm sea to a shore full of family. A tender ocean tale about being delivered safely to the people who were waiting.

Good to Know
Timing a Grandparent's Baptism Gift
Skip the ceremony crush
Church steps are no place to appreciate a book. Give it at the family meal afterward, or bring it on your next visit when her parents can turn every page.
Put the family history in the dedication
You hold information no one else at that baptism has: who else wore the gown, whose middle name she carries, what her great-grandmother would have said. Write it down; the dedication page is built for it.
Send digital now, hardcover after
If the baptism sneaked up on you, email the $14.99 digital edition to her parents today and let the printed keepsake edition arrive the following week.
Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the book's story religious, since it's for a baptism?
The story is a gentle, secular adventure (think moonlit gardens rather than Bible scenes), so it works at every bedtime in any household. Your faith enters through the dedication page and printed letter in the keepsake edition, in your own words.
The godparents are also giving a gift. Will ours feel redundant?
No two of these books come out alike. Your theme choice, your dedication, and the family tree and letter pages make a grandparent's edition unmistakably different from anything the godparents bring.
What kind of photo works for a baby this young?
One clear photo with her face visible and evenly lit: no hospital hat pulled low, no deep shadows. You'll see the free illustrated cover preview before paying, so you can judge the likeness yourself first.
When will she be old enough to enjoy it?
Immediately, in her parents' voices. Around three to five she'll hunt for herself in every illustration, and by six to eight she'll read it solo and discover the dedication was for her all along.
How long does the printed book take to arrive?
5-7 business days of production plus shipping time, printed in the US. Order two weeks or more ahead of the baptism to stay comfortable.
Can we preview it without committing?
Yes. Upload one photo and the illustrated cover preview is free, no credit card required. You'll sign in with Google to continue to the free two-page story preview.
From our family to yours
We built Delilah & Mia because the most meaningful gifts we ever received were not bought so much as made: things with our names on them, from people who knew us. A granddaughter's baptism deserves that kind of gift. Every time a grandparent trusts us with the very first heirloom of a brand-new life, it lands on us how much that trust weighs, and we print accordingly.
