Katie Carew is a fourth grader who gives her mom tap shoes for Mother's Day because she used to enjoy tap dancing. Her mom loves the gift and auditions for a part in a show, but the magic wind strikes and Katie is switched into her mother's place! She messes up the audition, but turns tap dancing into a mother-daughter hobby they can both enjoy.
