FTL Media is excited to bring you "Pom Pom and Franny,” an animated series that follows two little fruit trees, as they encounter a variety of challenges that reveal what is most important in life and ultimately shapes their character. They are joined by their woodland friends, Tedo the skunk and Oscar the wise old owl, as well as their beloved grandmothers, Rue Rue and Nana, who are always there to guide them… with a bit of humor, a lot of wisdom, and heaps of southern charm.

Our Mission
Just think what the world would be like if EVERY child could hear the amazing news of Jesus Christ! Just think what the world would be like if these children also knew that they could have a relationship with their Father God and Holy Spirit to produce spiritual “fruit that lasts” and have lives that display the fruit of the Spirit!
We LOVE joining with God’s heart to be a vessel to make this a reality! Our prayer and heart’s desire is for our fruit tree characters, Franny Fig and Pom Pom Pomegranate, to reach children all over the world to share this great news. Oh, and we also enjoy knowing that these same children will experience the gift of laughter because Franny and Pom Pom are always up to something!
Share Franny Fig and Pom Pom Pomegranate with the children you love. You will be sharing a gift that lasts forever!
God bless,
Nena & Kristi
p.s. We would love to share with you the message of how you can also produce fruit that lasts. Read the prayer of salvation ›.
Meet the Authors
Best friends since the first grade, Nena Jackson and Kristi Smith consistently created such a ruckus in one of their classes that their teacher made sure they weren’t in the same class together the next year. It was this kind of playfulness that inspired many of Franny and Pom Pom’s misadventures. Now grown, they remain best friends and continue to expand the world of Franny and Pom Pom with the Fruit That Lasts book series and teaching a Vacation Bible School starring Franny and Pom Pom in Kenya, Africa. Nena is married to Scott and has four grown children. She lives in the beautiful and historical city of Charleston, South Carolina. Kristi is widowed and has two grown children. She continues to live in the revitalized and charming city of Birmingham, Alabama, where both authors grew up together.
