“Anything’s possible with six yards of magic silk!!” Sai adores Amma’s silk saris. He could drape himself in their magic all day. When he throws the material up, it becomes… an ocean! The forest of Sinharaja! He invites the other children to join him in his adventure but they always want to either play out on their bikes or play in on their video games. But then Sai meets Nate who seems to share Sai’s fascination. And, once they fling the sari up together, new intergalactic, adventures are launched.
