Wow. That’s so interesting and sounds like a cool project.

My grandmother kept a diary and her entries went back decades. After she passed away my aunt compiled it into a huge spiral bound volume about 3 inches thick and gifted copies to the family members.

My in-laws’ barn became the repository for various family items, including some boxes from the father-in-law of my sister-in-law after he passed away. She is not sentimental at all but found her fil’s diary in a box and asked my husband to look at it, and it’s from his time in the army during WWII, from boot camp through the Normandy landing, around Europe, battles, and back to NY on a ship.

My assigned task is to turn all of this into a picture book for his son, my husband’s brother-in-law, with copies for his siblings and extended family. I don’t know if Grok would help in this situation because each book page will need its own template due to pictures and copies of the diary pages.

I know your book will turn out to be a lovely keepsake for your family!
