What to know

It asks three questions, and up to three more if you want more of the book to be yours, and a colleague who worked down the hall can answer most of them.

Common questions

Can a whole class or staff team give it together?

One person makes the book and pays for it, so agree the answers between you first. The dedication can be signed from the group, for example "from everyone in Class 4", and you read the whole text free before paying.

Will the school or its logo be in the pictures?

No. Classrooms and uniforms are drawn without logos, and the school's real name appears only in the words if you write it into an answer.

Can another teacher be drawn beside them?

Yes. Add a colleague's photo and tick that they know and are happy to appear, and they are drawn next to the hero in the school chapters.
