In partnership with You Are The Star, the England National Cricket Team has created the ultimate personalised children’s book set at the iconic T20 cricket arena. The adventure begins at home, where your child is inspired to take up cricket and dream big. With the support of friends and family, and after an unforgettable match on the local pitch that captures the attention of millions, they receive the call of a lifetime: an invitation to join England’s T20 squad.
As the game reaches its final overs, with England just a few runs away from victory, the captain glances at the boundary line… could this be the moment you’ve all been waiting for? This officially licensed children’s book from the England National Cricket Team is the perfect gift for any young fan, inspiring them to reach for their wildest dreams and experience the thrill of representing their country on the cricket field, embodying the spirit of England’s T20 squad.
There are many elements that can be personalised to create a wonderfully unique gift:
The Star. You choose their name, age, left hand/right hand, 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 T20 international crowd.
