The perfect gift
A sure-fire hit for any budding football fan, West Ham have teamed up with You Are The Star to create a personalised children’s book.
The story begins at home as your child is inspired to take up football and to dream big. With a little help from friends and family, and a dazzling display at a local football club that goes viral, they receive a miraculous call-up to join the West Ham squad for a vital match.
It’s late in the match, with West Ham still needing a goal to win… could it be the moment you’ve all been waiting for?
The only officially licensed children’s book from West Ham, it’s the perfect gift for any young fan, and who knows? It might just inspire them to go for their wildest dreams.
How is the book personalised?
There are many elements that can be personalised to create a wonderfully unique gift:
The Star. You choose their name, age, appearance and hometown.
The Best Friend. You choose their name, appearance and relationship to the star (brother, friend etc.)
The Grown-up. You choose their name (e.g. Mummy, Daddy, Granny, Grandpa, etc.) and appearance.
The Video. You have the option to record a video message that will always be accessible via a scannable link inside the book.
And that’s it! A brilliantly illustrated adventure will be created that inspires the lucky receiver to dream of playing in front of a packed West Ham crowd.
