For Ivy and Bean, their differences mean that they have more fun together than they could ever have separately. And people with great ideas need people who can put those ideas into action. For example, people who like to talk need people who like to listen. Especially because their parents keep nagging them about it.īut sometimes opposites can become the best of friends because they’re opposites. Each girl thinks she could never be friends with the other. She spends most of her time learning how to be a witch. She loves to be involved in games and poke her nose in other people’s business. I remembered that when I was writing the first Ivy + Bean.

My parents were forever trying to get me to like the kids of their friends. One of the big problems of being a kid is that your parents often try to make you play with people you don’t really like.
