Imagine the excitement for any young Manchester City fan as they step onto the grandest stage in English football. In partnership with You Are The Star, Manchester City has created the ultimate personalised children’s book set right at the Etihad Stadium. The adventure begins at home, where your child is inspired to take up football and dream big. With the support of friends and family, and after an unforgettable match at the local pitch that captures the attention of millions, they receive the call of a lifetime: an invitation to join the Manchester City squad at the Etihad.
As the game reaches its final moments, with City just one goal away from victory, the manager glances at the sideline… could this be the moment you’ve all been waiting for? This officially licensed children’s book from Manchester City is the perfect gift for any young fan, inspiring them to reach for their wildest dreams and experience the thrill of playing for their favourite club.
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 Etihad Stadium crowd.
My child isn’t represented? You Are The Star have made every effort to offer a wide range of options to represent every child. Please contact us if you cannot find a suitable avatar or pronoun option.
