Generations of readers have fallen in love with Ivy + Bean, which has sold over 8 million copies and been adapted into a popular Netflix Original Film series. Now, bestselling author Annie Barrows and illustrator Sophie Blackall are back with the first book in a bright new series about a pair of sisters named Stella and Marigold.
Stella, whoâs seven, is kind, a good storyteller, and ponders big questions like, what do animals think of people? Marigold, at four, tells imaginative stories (her mother calls them âfibsâ) and likes to wear her favorite Halloween costume year-round. Stella and Marigold do all the regular thingsâlike going to school, playing, getting sick sometimes, and visiting the zooâbut even the most regular things have a secret side.
Sure to delight fans of Ivy and Bean, these adventure talesâanimated with full-color illustrations of the sistersâ encounters with magical bathrooms, snow monkeys, dream lions, howling wolves, a lost Vice President, and much moreâare filled with vibrant characters, creative storytelling, and a whole lot of laughs.
