Synopsis

Kitty and Mimi are playing origami when Kitty wishes there were a wonderful world where everything is made out of paper. Soon, the girls are in the imaginary world where they see a flying paper horse. They then see koala workers making a paper house.

A mouse comes up to them and explains that the girls are in their very own Paper Land- a special place decorated with everything they ever made out of paper. An excited Mimi recognizes the bird she just made. Kitty is not so proud of her half finished bird and the mouse reminds her that is the one she gave up on. He tells Kitty that finishing something that is hard is a challenge that can be rewarding.

Kitty remembers giving up making an airplane because she was frustrated. She learns that that is the way a challenge feels. She challenges Mimi to a contest to make the best paper planes, boats and flowers.

When a windstorm kicks up in Paper Land, Kitty decides to make a castle made out of strong paper that won't blow away. With Mimi and Mouse's help, Kitty completes the castle.

At home that night, the girls go to sleep dreaming about their paper castle and the prince and princess who live there.

Her hobbies include eating yummy cookies that her sister Mimi bakes, and best of all, as Hello Kitty always says, "You can never have too many friends."
