Premise
9-year-old Stella happily guides her 4-year-old brother, Sam, through the wild spaces beyond their back porch. For her, the Great Outdoors is more than just a place – it’s a playmate! Sam learns that (with a little imagination) a chair can be a spaceship, there are dragons in the meadow and trees make great pirate ships. Their adventures fill Sam with questions, and Stella has an endless supply of answers – as long as you’re not too fussy about the facts. [5]
