Bestselling Personalized Book “When Emma Grows Up” AVAILABLE from Dad’s Point of View

Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. Therefore, we have created special and unique personalized children’s books for those with truly everlasting bonds – dads and their little ones.

A Thoughtful Gift for A Loving Father

We may have started out by putting moms front and center in the past, but we never forgot about all the wonderful dads out there. So, after we had sold more than 500,000 “When Emma Grows Up” personalized children’s books worldwide, we realized that we were receiving the same question over and over again. “I was trying to create a personalized book for me and my son, but how do I change to Dad and customize him? I only see Mom.” That was our cue! We buckled down and wasted no time so that we could bring you “When Emma Grows Up – Daddy Edition”!

As a team of attentive and creative souls, we are always striving to deliver the best for our customers and we wouldn’t settle for anything less than overwhelmingly positive comments from moms. And that’s what we got: [My son and daughter] were mesmerized, and over the course of a day, they must have asked me at least half a dozen times to read their stories. It melted my heart!”


How Did You Do It?

The whole creative process has indeed been a wild ride. Are you up for the short version of how we adapted the personalized children’s book for dads and their little ones? Yes?
Then buckle up!

To begin with, all of the texts had to be switched to dad mode. You know how dads are – tough on the outside and gentle on the inside, and, most importantly, they say things, well, differently than moms do. The most frequently asked question was whether or not certain lines were something dads would even say. And who better to ask than the author himself, who is also a father to a 7-year-old girl? And of course, he had the help of a few of our Hooray Heroes teammates too. Reading, rereading, correcting, swapping out words and rhymes, changing the word order and bam, it was a wrap!

Was It Really That Easy?

Actually no. Unfortunately not a chicken wrap and certainly not a completed personalized-children’s-book-Daddy-Edition wrap either. Dad’s version of the book wouldn’t exactly make sense without dad’s being in it, would it? Check out the illustrations below to see how the shape of dad’s face, hair styles and colors, facial hair and other personalization options came to life.

If you thought we forgot about dad’s clothes or footwear, the look in his eyes and his overall quirkiness, well, you thought wrong. Just wait until you see for yourself!
