As parents turned publishers, we wrote our thought-provoking personalised children’s books to help a child’s understanding of their developing character. They’ll journey to thrilling new worlds, discover hidden life-lessons around today’s many challenges, and return better informed to everyday life.
Give storytime more meaning!
Simply choose your book by a value you think is important, or by the theme of the adventure story. Either way, we know the little hero will learn by being at the heart of their own bite-sized morality tale.
Dave & James, co-founders of Be Held.
As unique as the child who’ll be poring over its pages.
A meaningful gift in a throwaway society. One to last a lifetime.
The closer a child looks, the more they will be rewarded.
Carefully produced, packaged and delivered worldwide.
By placing a child at the heart of their own fantastical tale, our books create maximum engagement throughout the journey to ensure their personalised story’s hidden benefits are discovered.
Each BE Book is created around one unique child and two parallel stories. The first is an adventure-filled quest, the other an everyday scenario – the relevance of which becomes clear as the story reaches its conclusion.
Every BE Book has a simple-to-follow progress scale running through its pages. This allows parents and children to follow the hero’s positive development as the personalised journey unfolds.
Our transition is the dramatic point where our readers switch from one parallel story to another, transporting the hero from personalised wish-fulfillment quest to relatable everyday scenario.
Once the everyday scenario is finally revealed, an easy-to-follow timeline allows the child to retrace their footsteps. Creating a unique opportunity for the parent to explain or discuss the relevance of each touchpoint.

How can storytime be better?
As parents ourselves, we believe in the increasing power of personalised children’s books to further enhance the timeless ritual of bedtime stories.
