Stella is seven and thinks about big questions like what animals think of people. Her four-year-old sister Marigold tells stories their mother calls fibs and wears her Halloween costume all year long. The sisters go to school, play together, get sick sometimes, and visit the zoo. But ordinary activities reveal secret sides when you have big imaginations. Their bathroom becomes magical. Snow monkeys appear. Dream lions prowl. Wolves howl in unexpected places. A Vice President goes missing. Even regular days turn into adventures when Stella's storytelling gifts meet Marigold's creative spirit. The sisters navigate the ups and downs that come with being family, supporting each other through moments both silly and serious.
