What's in the book
Potty training goes better when it's celebrated rather than pushed. In Potty Hero your toddler goes from not-quite-ready to potty champion, with a few funny moments along the way and a big celebration at the end.
Because the hero looks exactly like them, toddlers recognise themselves straight away, and 'that's me!' is a powerful motivator. Keep it short: choose the 6-page length for little ones.

How a story helps with potty training
Shows the routine
Children copy what they see. A story walks through each step in a calm, positive way.
Accidents are okay
The story treats a miss as part of learning, which takes the pressure off everyone.
A reward to read
Read it as part of the celebration when they get there, or use it as the prize.
Make it theirs
The more you tell Panelo, the more the story sounds like your family. Good things to mention:
- Their potty or step stool
- The reward you're using (stickers, a dance)
- Their favourite character or toy who can cheer them on
- Words your family uses
How it works
- 1
Add a photo
One clear photo of your child (and anyone else in the story). Panelo draws them as a storybook character, then the photo is discarded.

Questions parents ask
What age is a potty training book for?
Usually 18 months to 3 years, whenever your child is showing signs of readiness. The Short (6-page) length suits this age best.
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.
