Aimed at young people aged three to seven years, this beautifully written and illustrated book explores the joy of being yourself. Monkey Baa present their recent adaptation of this beautiful tale.
Milli is clever. She can take objects that have been forgotten or thrown away and transform them into amazing things. But the people in her village just aren't interested. They want sensible things in their lives and have no time for the wonderous.
So Milli spends all her time making for the villagers, good strong shoes and boots.
Every day is the same for Milli, until one day two strangers come into her shop. Jack and the Dancing Cat have no money to pay for new boots but in exchange they will give Milli dancing lessons.
Milli learns to do ballet and to tap dance. She learns jazz and two step and so many fabulous dances that she decides that she can't just make boring boots for Jack and the Cat. She makes them the most wonderful shoes, with clothes to match. She then makes some for herself and she can't stop there, soon her whole house and the shop look so amazing that the villagers flock to it.
Milli's imagination has been freed.
