The Silk Road is a parable about two small caterpillars, Fearful and Hopeful. Together, they begin a transformative journey to answer the question we all ask, “Who am I and Why am I here?” This story teaches children of all ages that all of us feel the urge to make a great contribution, begin a great adventure but that our dreams are never without risk. The Silk Road teaches that we must all take a journey in our lives and, when we press through the hardships and danger, a great transformation takes place.
