Father's Day Gift 2026: a personalised children's book about dad
Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 21, 2026 in the UK, the US and most of Europe.
Check the date where you are. In the UK, the US, Ireland, Canada and India, Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June. In Australia and New Zealand it is the first Sunday in September, and in the United Arab Emirates it is 21 June. Work the ordering deadline below back from your own date.
And let’s be honest, dad deserves something more than a “#1 Dad” mug. This year, give him something that truly touches the heart: a personalised children’s book where dad is the hero of the story.
Why a book about dad is so special
A drawing or card is sweet, but a book? That’s something to keep forever. A children’s book where your child and dad go on an adventure together, with real names, their appearance, and even your own photos. It’s a gift that won’t end up forgotten in a drawer.
At MyOwnChildBook.com you can create that book in just a few minutes:
- Choose a story (adventure, fantasy, sports, nature…)
- Enter the names of your child and dad
- Describe what they look like, or add photos
- Preview the book
- Order, and it arrives at your door within a few business days

Story ideas
Not sure what to write? Here are some ideas kids (and dads) absolutely love:
- The great adventure of dad and [child’s name]: exploring the world together
- Dad is a superhero: saving the day, with your child as the sidekick
- Fishing with dad: perfect for the outdoorsy dad
- Dad’s secret recipe: for the dad who loves to cook
- The greatest dad in the jungle: playful and colourful for toddlers
The more personal you make the story, the more dad will laugh (or tear up 😄).

What dads always say
Parents who’ve given the book all tell us the same thing: dad opens it, reads the first page, and then… he pauses. Because his name is in there. And his child’s name. And it looks absolutely beautiful.
That moment. That’s the Father’s Day gift.
