I’ve been dreaming of making a show about childhood blankets for a long, long time. Growing up I was extremely attached to my blanket, Wooby, while my best friend, Erin, was ever-so-attached to her blanket, Fotty. They went everywhere with us. They kept us warm, they made us feel safe, and they eventually ended up as shredded fibers of soiled cotton after too many years of too much love.

​

Whenever I bring up having a blankie, people instantly relate. They tell me what they called their blankie and what it looked like. And whether it was a blankie, a teddy, a lovie, a doll - it's obvious just how important it is for children to feel comforted.

​

And so, I wanted to capture all of that into a series. After coming up with a few different iterations of a Wooby & Fotty show, I mentioned the idea to my pal, Jason. Jason had another idea. Wooby & Fotty - but puppets. I liked it a lot.

​

We got to work with our talented team and now we have a wonderful show about a pair of childhood blankets who can bring feelings of joy and security to all of your kids.

​

Every song we’ve recorded has been test run on my twins and I will tell you this – they love ‘em! It has calmed them down and cheered them up in the car, in the stroller, at lunch time, bath time and that terrible time between 5 and 6 when you consider staying at a hotel by yourself for the night.

 

I hope you check it out for yourself - and let me know what you called your blankie!
