Your finished bookYou fill it in and talk it through with Mo, add your photos, and we send it off to be printed properly.
It reads as yours from start to finish. My name is only on the back page.

Dear Ruby, you've just started school, and you told me your teacher is "nearly as nice as Nana".
I hope you always ask as many questions as you do now.
Love, Nana Jean
A made-up example: the names, photo and words in yours will be your own.
We've spent two centuries making work faster by narrowing it, and now a machine does the narrow parts better than we do, and for less.
What's left is the part nobody ever wrote into the job description. I call it ceremony: intent, presence and witness.
I wrote it for anyone who spends their day in front of other people. Each chapter starts with a story and ends with three questions about your own work.
