The Story
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 wondrous.
So Milli spends all her time making good strong boots for the villagers.
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 offer to give Milli dancing lessons.
Milli agrees and learns to do ballet and to tap dance. She learns jazz and the two step and so many fabulous dances that she decides that she can't just make boots for Jack and the Cat, she has to give them much more. So she creates for them the most wonderful shoes with clothes to match. She makes more for herself and soon she can't stop, making her whole house and the shop look so amazing that the villagers flock to see her brilliant creativity.
Milli's imagination has been freed.
