What's in the book
In Grandparent Day, an ordinary visit turns into an adventure through Grandma's and Grandpa's own stories, from when they were small. Both of them are drawn from photos, so it's really them on every page, side by side.
It's one of the most-loved gifts going in either direction: from grandparents to a grandchild, or from the family to grandparents who live far away. Share the link, read it on a video call, or print it for the fridge.
The story
Grandparent day
A special day with grandparents that becomes an adventure through their old stories.
Make this one
Why it means so much
Family stories get passed on
Add a real memory (the farm, the shop, the boat) and it becomes part of the adventure.
Distance doesn't matter
The book is a link: grandparents abroad can read it the minute it's made.
Up to four heroes
Both grandparents, the grandchild and the family dog can all be in it.
Make it theirs
The more you tell Panelo, the more the story sounds like your family. Good things to mention:
- What the grandchild calls them (Nana, Dadi, Opa)
- A real story from their childhood
- Something they always do together
- Where they live

Questions parents ask
Can grandparents and grandchildren both be drawn from photos?
Yes. Add up to four heroes, each from their own photo. Everyone stays the same on every page.
Is it a good gift for Grandparents Day or a birthday?
Yes, and it's ready in minutes, so it works for last-minute occasions too.
Is my child's photo stored?
No. The photo is used once to draw your child as a storybook character and is then discarded. Saved and shared books contain only the drawings.
How much does it cost?
Trying it is free: you get your child as a cartoon hero, their story, the cover and the first two pages. The full book (up to 10 pages, up to four heroes including pets) is $9 one time, or ₹449 in India. The Family plan is $19 a month for three books.
