How is the book personalised?

Their name is on the cover and all through the story. Their face, drawn from one photo or from your words, is in every picture. And the thing they’re obsessed with is what saves the day, so the pictures change with it.

What’s the story?

Christmas is stuck. The grown-ups have tried everything: the spoon, the net, the pointy stick. Luckily there’s an expert in the house who knows everything about the one thing they love most. Time to call them in.

A girl on the sofa with her grandmother, finding her own name on the cover.

The first read is mostly giggles.

They spot themselves on the cover before you’ve even opened it. Then they spot the dinosaurs. Then they want it again. And again. And again.

Not just the name.

Most personalised books swap a name in and call it done. Ours rewrites the story and redraws the pictures around whatever they’re obsessed with. Every copy really is a different book.

FAQs

Who is Tandem?
Tandem builds personalised stories where your child is the star. Their name is on the cover, their face is in the pictures, and the whole story is built around where they live and what they love right now. We’re a small team of parents, doctors and child psychologists who believe technology, used responsibly, can make childhood more magical. One of us reads every book before it’s printed.
How long does it take?
About four minutes of yours. Then a few minutes of ours while the pages are drawn, and you can read each one as it lands. Printing and posting takes a few more days.
What else do you make?
Three at the moment. There's a Christmas rescue only they can pull off, and a book where they try on their dream job (and a dozen others along the way). In What's Changed? the two of you work out what's different since you were small, and what isn't.
What if it arrives and it’s not right?
Tell us. A real person reads every message, and if the book is not right we put it right or give you your money back.
