Your holiday is the story.

Seaside, city, castle or museum: wherever you're headed, we will help you to get ready for the trip, to have a great time there, and to bring home stories you'll be telling, and reading, all year.

Made before you go, while you're there, or when you're home. Read anywhere.

Books are made together, in minutes, then read offline anywhere: the plane, the back seat, the tent with no signal. Share them with the grandparents too.

Four book types for every trip: a guide to your journey there, a mini guidebook on exactly where you're going, a packing guide on what to take for what you're doing, stories set where you're going.

How it works

Making yours takes a few minutes, and you do it together.

1

Tell us about the trip.

Where you're going, who's going, and what your child is into. Dinosaurs, boats, playgrounds, whatever it is.

2

Pick the book you want.

A story set where you're going, a book to prepare you for the journey there, a packing list that matches your activities, or a personalised mini guidebook.

3

Read it together.

On the plane, on the beach, at bedtime. It reads offline, and you can order a hardcopy book if you like too.

A note from the people who made this

AI gets useful!

Yes, there's AI in here. Here's exactly how we use it.

Someone could write a guidebook for a five-year-old called Finn, who loves dinosaurs and is going to Pembrokeshire on Tuesday. But nobody ever has, because it would take a fortnight and cost a fortune. That's the bit the AI does: it writes and illustrates one book, for one child, for one trip.*

*But you can make more than one book!

What it doesn't do is talk to your child. There's no chatbot, nothing open-ended, nothing for them to wander into on their own. You make the book together, you read it together, and then it's just a book you read on the train, waiting at the airport, or at bedtime in the hotel.

Built by experts. Safe by design.

Tandem is made by parents who are doctors and child psychologists. Every book is written to your child's age and reading level, with multiple safety layers designed in.

  • Built by parents. Who are experts.
  • Multiple safety layers.
  • No ads, nothing to scroll.
  • Loved by 40,000 families and counting.

Questions parents actually ask.

No, it's better than that. £3.99 unlocks a whole year of unlimited travel books, for every child in your family and every trip you take. It's a one-off payment and never auto-renews. Every book you make is yours to keep and read forever, long after the year ends.

Yes. Travel books are included in your subscription at no extra cost, so there's nothing to buy here. Just open the app and make one. The £3.99 pass is for families who don't subscribe yet.

Yes. You make the books online before (or during) the trip, and then can read offline anywhere: planes, ferries, campsites with no signal. You can also order hardback copies to be sent directly to you too.

That's kind of the point. Every book is made for your exact trip, not pulled off a shelf, so a tiny harbour village gets the same treatment as Paris.

Tandem is built by doctors and child psychologists and in partnership with Nesta, Alder Hey and Moorfields. The AI works within careful guardrails, there are no ads, and you preview every page before your child sees it. And Tandem is made for two: you create together, never the child alone.

Just tell us and we'll refund you in full, with no deadline to keep an eye on. We'd rather you tried it on a real trip and decided for yourselves.
