A 9-year-old girl named Stella 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, everyday items can be anything he wants it to be. For example, a chair can be a spaceship, a meadow where dragons roam, and a tall tree that transforms into a pirate ship. Their adventures gives Sam some questions. In turn, Stella has an endless supply of answers – as long as you’re not too fussy about the facts.
