About Penwizard
Welcome to the wonderful world of Penwizard! We love reading, and we believe everyone should get the chance to be the star of their very own story. That's why we've created a range of personalised books that put children and adults at the heart of the story, alongside their favourite characters from some of the most popular television, film, and toy brands.
As a team, we believe in taking books to the next level. When we got started in 2004, personalised books usually just included a child's name in a generic story. We decided to blend our technical expertise with our creative vision to create books where kids appear in the illustrations as well as the text. Our stories include loads of personalised details, so each book feels like it was written just for your child. We've entertained over 700,000 children all over the world with our customised stories. Each and every book we print is unique, just like your child!

What's the deal with personalised books?
Early childhood is a crucial stage in the development of reading and writing skills. When kids see themselves in a story, they're more likely to engage with it and want to learn how to read it themselves.
Our books are designed to teach kids how to read in a fun and engaging way. Our illustrated storybooks help kids learn how to spell their name, recognise words in sentences, and other crucial early literacy skills. Our search-and-find activity books teach kids about shapes, colours, recognising differences between images, and more. Our adventure books for more advanced readers include personalised details kids need to know how to read and write such as their own address and the names of friends and family members.
Our customised books aren't just for kids! Adults can also enjoy seeing themselves throughout the stories. Our family books are designed for children and adults to enjoy together, with multiple characters to design and enjoy in the story. They're the perfect gift for a parent or grandparent.
