Grow & CaptionGrow & Caption
Made for grandparents

Your grandchild's early years,
in your own words.

One prompt a week, straight to your phone. Add photos you already took, type a few sentences, and a year later you have a real hardcover book of them at this age — in your voice, with the family stories only you can tell.

Real talk

Photos live on a phone.
Your stories deserve longer than that.

The way they say your name. The Sunday afternoons. The stories about their parent at the same age. Right now it all feels unforgettable. In five years nobody will remember which week any of it happened.

Grow & Caption gives you one small prompt a week so a whole year with them ends up in one book they'll keep long after you're gone.

Two minutes a week.
That's the whole commitment.

1

Get a prompt

A text or email each week with one question written for grandparents — "What do you call each other, and how did that start?" No blank page to stare at.

2

Add your photos

Pull straight from your camera roll, arrange them however you want, and write a couple of sentences in your own voice.

3

Print it at the end

All 42 weeks become a full-color hardcover. Order one for you, one for their parents, one for whoever cries the most.

Prompts written for you

A few of the 42 you'll get

The Day I Met You

Add a photo from the first time you held them. Where were you? What did you think?

What I Call You

Your nickname for them, and what they call you. How did those names come about?

Your Parent at Your Age

Find a photo of their mom or dad as a small child. What do they have in common?

A Family Story

A story from before they were born that they should grow up knowing.

In the Kitchen With You

Bake something together. Photograph the mess and write down the recipe.

A Letter to You

Write them a letter to read when they're grown. Say the things out loud.

WEEK 07

The Day You Found Your Feet

You let go of the coffee table on a Tuesday and took four steps before you sat down hard and laughed about it. You did it again eleven times before dinner. By Friday you were chasing the dog down the hallway and refusing to be carried anywhere.

"They won't remember being this small.
You can be the one who wrote it down."
