[edit] Summary

Six-year-old Franny Fantootsie visits with her Grandpa every day at his shoe repair shop in Vancouver. They like to talk about matters until "a customer!" comes. The customer presents the problem pair to Grandpa, and he gives the pair to Franny to place inside the storage room. But secretly, Franny tries on the pair and they take her to a magical place such as a Native American powwow in Wyoming, a sunny beach in Jamaica, or a high mountain in China.

The show is designed to teach children about the joys of exploring for the first time. It has been praised by critics in the United States and Canada and has been honored as an Outstanding Product of 2006 by iParenting Media Awards.
