Set
Uki's world is safe and contained; it is the world of a child awakening to new experiences and sensations that will shape her development and deepen her understanding of her environment. Music is key to the show – simple, catchy melodic jingles that make the show accessible to even the youngest child.
Structure
The show has a modular structure: the carefully layered episode content provides the young viewer with a sequentially linked set of games, puzzles and activities that enhance the concept at the heart of the story.
Awards
In 2008 the show won the KidScreen Summit's Pitch it! Award.
