The Protagonist
Miimou
The Curious Explorer
Miimou is the audience: eager, non-verbal, and full of wonder. A soft, spherical toddler-creature who communicates through giggles, coos, and expressive bounces.
- The Want: To touch, hold, and understand everything.
- Kid Entry Point: Miimou is "new here" just like them. They learn together.
- Evolution: Learns patience and vocabulary (one word at a time).
The Mentor
Bow
The Gentle Guide
Part fairy-godmother, part narrator. Bow bridges the gap between Miimou and the viewer. Bow never solves the problem for Miimou, but asks the right questions.
- Role: Narration & Emotional regulation.
- Dynamics: "Try again, Miimou!" (Supportive, never didactic).
- Magic: Can reshape into simple tools (a bridge, a ladder).
The Friend
Leo
The Messy Peer
A contrast to Miimou's clean space. Leo brings the "Earth"—mud, frogs, and chaotic fun. He is not a teacher; he is a playmate who learns with Miimou.
- Role: Social Mirror & Parallel Play.
- Dynamics: The "Oscar" to Miimou's "Felix".
- Contrast: Muddy Boots vs. Shiny Fur.
The World
A Soft, Safe Sanctuary
The Rules:
- Gentle Geometry: No sharp edges. Hills are soft, mossy mounds; trees are ancient, towering giants.
- Soft Physics: Falling feels like landing on a deep bed of moss.
- The Environment is the Antagonist: Soft doesn't mean easy. A steep mossy hill or a strong wind provides the friction, requiring Miimou to adapt and overcome.
- Living World: The environment reacts. Strange glowing flora hums when touched.
Locations: The Cozy Cave (Home/Crash Site), The Fern Forest (Exploration), The Misty Mountains (Adventure).
Episode Springboards
Ep 01: Miimou Meets the World
Goal: Find the hidden ears.
Miimou wakes up clueless. B.O.W. helps her run a system diagnostic. She stomps her feet (check!) but can't find her ears—until a soft breeze reveals them under her fur.
Theme: Self-Identity
Ep 02: The Feeling Cloud
Goal: Help the cloud go away.
A literal raincloud follows Miimou. Is she Sad? No, she's Frustrated! A "Stomp and Shake" dance helps blow the cloud away, revealing the sun.
Theme: Emotional Regulation
Ep 03: A Friend for Miimou
Goal: Say hello—bravely.
Miimou spots a muddy boy (Leo) in the garden. She is shy. A "Brave Breath" gives her the courage to approach him for a "Cat Nuzzle" High-Five.
Theme: Making Friends
Ep 04: The Big Backyard Build
Goal: Build a cardboard castle.
Miimou is too short for the high parts. Leo is too big for the low parts. Together, they fit perfectly. "You help me, I help you!"
Theme: Teamwork
Ep 05: The Red Leaf
Goal: Find the Red Leaf.
The garden is full of green leaves. B.O.W. teaches Miimou to use "Owl Eyes" to zoom in and find the one special Red Leaf.
Theme: Cognitive Sorting
Ep 06: Windy Day Whistle
Goal: Move the leaf pile.
A pile of leaves blocks the path. Miimou learns when to use a "Big Wind" (Strong Breath) and when to use a "Soft Wind" (Gentle Breath) for dandelion seeds.
Theme: Breath Control+46 Episodes: The Full Year
Goal: Guided growth through all four seasons.
From "Community Helpers" to "Spring Science," the year expands into Math, Arts, and World Culture. A comprehensive 52-week roadmap designed to grow alongside the child.
