My World Cup — inside scene 1

№ 02 · Our promise

Watching the World Cup on TV sends shivers down your spine. Being the hero of the book that tells the story of THAT match creates a memory. Our creative team works to a strict editorial standard for what this book says — and what it refuses to shortchange.

Football here is a space for self-discovery and sporting kinship, not solo glory. The opponent has a face. The team matters more than the goal.

— , on every My World Cup.

What we do

  • A stadium brought to life — floodlights, crowd noise, lush green pitch
  • A journey through self-doubt, resilience, and the perfect moment
  • Teamwork celebrated — the assist matters as much as the goal
  • The opponent treated with respect, never humiliated
  • A win that helps your child grow, even when the scoreboard disagrees

What we won't do

  • Solo glory at the expense of the team
  • The opponent mocked or looked down on
  • Dramatic injuries or dangerous tackles
  • Recognisable sportswear brands in the illustrations
  • A perfect hero who never once questions themselves

№ 02b · The book up close · Last updated July 31, 2026

The World Cup comes around every four years — and this time, your child is the hero. A personalized book where they step onto the pitch, play the match that matters, and come away changed.

The World Cup is back — and this time, your child isn't watching from the stands. They're on the pitch. Their name on the back of the shirt, boots laced tight, the vast stadium stretching out before them. That's My World Cup: a personalized World Cup book for kids where your child is the hero of the greatest match on earth.

From the very first pages, your child pushes open the tunnel door and breathes in the smell of fresh-cut grass. They touch the back of the net, hear the roar of the crowd, adjust their boots. The World Cup isn't something they watch — it's something they play. And the arc of the story goes far beyond a simple "and then they score": it's a story about the courage to try, the intelligence to pass, and the pride of being part of a team.

Five different angles are available — from the legendary goalkeeper who saves the decisive penalty, to the friend made in the opposition stand, to the mascot's secret mission. You pick the one that fits your child best.

Giving this book now means pairing the shared excitement of the tournament with something personal and lasting. While the whole world watches the same matches, your child receives their story of the tournament — with their name, their face (drawn from the photo you send us), and their own shirt colors.

The book adapts to their age: short, sensory-rich text for ages 3–5 (the colors, the noise, the first flutter of stadium nerves), a breathless narrative for ages 6–8 (goalkeeper, team, penalty shootout), and a nuanced story about teamwork and fair play for ages 9 and up.

  • Your child's name woven naturally into every page of the story
  • Custom illustrations created from a photo — the hero is genuinely recognizable
  • The stadium and the pitch as the central setting, rendered with visual precision
  • Up to 3 loved ones in the cast — teammate, cheering parent, best friend
  • A4 landscape format (29.7 × 21 cm), hardcover, 28 or 48 pages
  • Express delivery in 7 days within the mainland UK, or PDF within 24 hours

The World Cup only comes around every four years. This book stays on the shelf all year long — and in four years' time, your child will pick it up again with a smile.

Visual preview of the The first thrill archetype

The child discovers the World Cup for the very first time — the colours, the noise, the thrill. And by the end, they're re-enacting the winning goal in the back garden.

  1. The stadium comes into view — vast, blazing with light, bursting with colour. The child's eyes go wide.
  2. The players walk out onto the pitch. When the team scores, everyone leaps to their feet — and so do they.
  3. Back home, they set the ball down on the grass and re-enact the goal. This time, it's them.

For every book, our creative team selects the arc that best captures your duo — the one you'll recognise the moment you read it together.

№ 05 · FAQs

The most common questions about My World Cup — answered honestly, with nothing left out.

Can we choose the team colors or shirt colors in the book?

Yes — when you place your order, you can specify the shirt colors you'd like. Our creative team works them into both the story and the illustrations. Please note: we don't use official national team logos in order to respect intellectual property rights — but the colors are reproduced faithfully.

Is the book suitable even if my child doesn't know much about soccer?

Absolutely. The book tells a sporting adventure story — the thrill of a great stadium, the spirit of a team, pushing yourself further — not a lesson in the rules of the game. A child who has never kicked a ball can still see themselves in the hero. For ages 3–5, the story focuses on the sensory excitement (the colors, the noise, the feeling of the pitch) rather than tactics.

Will the book arrive in time for the 2026 World Cup?

If you order now, yes. The PDF version is available within 24 hours of your order being confirmed. The printed version ships express in 7 days within mainland UK (10 to 15 days on the standard option). For guaranteed delivery during the tournament (June 14 – July 13), we recommend ordering as soon as possible.

What are the delivery times?

Our express delivery takes 7 days within mainland UK — the safe option if you need the book by a specific date. Standard delivery takes 10 to 15 working days when there's no rush. In a real hurry? The digital version (PDF) is ready within 24 hours of your order being confirmed. For international deliveries, allow extra time depending on the destination. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships. Any questions? Drop us a line at hello@realbigstories.com.

What size is the book, and how many pages does it have?

The book is A4 landscape format (29.7 × 21 cm when closed) — perfect for reading together side by side or laying flat on a table. The standard version has 10 illustrated chapters, plus an introduction and conclusion, coming to around 28 pages in total. The long version is nearly twice that, with 20 chapters and roughly 48 pages. Each chapter features a full-page illustration paired with text tailored to your child's age.

What's the print and paper quality like?

Printed on thick, premium matte paper. The hardcover is sturdy and the same high quality across all age ranges. The binding is sewn and glued to last — this is a book built to be read a hundred times, not to gather dust at the back of a drawer.

Can I make changes after placing my order?

Yes — as long as your book hasn't gone to print yet, which is usually within the first few hours after ordering. Get in touch as quickly as possible at hello@realbigstories.com with your order number and the change you need (a misspelled name, a photo to swap, a character to adjust). Once printing has started, we're unable to make any further changes.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

If something isn't right — a printing defect, a quality issue, or an illustration that doesn't look like your child — contact us as soon as possible after receiving your order at hello@realbigstories.com. We'll either reprint or give you a full refund, no questions asked. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, we make it right.

Are my photos and personal data safe?

Yes — your photos are only used to create the book. They're never shared, never used for anything else, and they're deleted from our servers on request. All our providers (payment, hosting, printing) are GDPR compliant.

How much can I personalize the book?

Far beyond just the name. Your child's face is illustrated from your photos, and appears on every page. You also choose the story world, the plot, the characters around them (family, friends, pet) and the little details of appearance. The book stays fully editable until you approve the preview: you read through the text, request any changes, and printing only starts once you're happy.
