About Stella and Sam's Adventures

This TV show takes place in Manitoba, Canada. It follows a nine-year-old girl named Stella and her four-year-old brother, Sam. Stella is very imaginative and loves to explore the outdoors. She guides Sam through all sorts of adventures right outside their home.

For Stella, the world around them is like a giant playground. Sam learns that with a little imagination, everyday things can become anything. A simple chair can turn into a spaceship. A field can become a place where dragons live. Even a tall tree can transform into a pirate ship! Sam often has many questions about their adventures. Stella always has an answer, even if it's not always exactly true!
