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.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
