There is a train that winds through mountains, through valleys, through tunnels, under

and through cities and through dreams, through yours and mine.

It can even travel underwater.

It's the dream train.

Not everyone knows how to get on and off the dream train, but you do.

You are the hero of this story.

You are the hero because you are kind and you are brave.

You can go anywhere on the dream train.

There is nowhere you can't go.

No matter what happens on the dream train, you'll always arrive right back where you

started.

That's how the dream train works.

You can visit a monkey, you know, who rides round and round on the dream train.

The monkey's name is Wu, and she lives in a caravan with an artist named Emily.

Emily is always painting mountains and trees.

She was always trying to make her paintings better and better.

Wu is often swinging from rope vines built into the top and sides of the caravan.

Monkeys need to swing and to keep busy, and Wu is free to swing around and around as much as she wants.

But Wu also needs to rest sometimes.

Wu has a little stool to sit on if she wants to sit and watch Emily paint,

and Wu has a bed on a velvet cushion inside a little cupboard with shutters if she wants to be alone or to sleep.

Neither the busy monkey nor the resting monkey is a better monkey.
