Ida B.

This is a young girl with a real passion for life and nature. Her main interest is having fun. She lives with her mother, father, and two pets, a cat and a dog. She tried to go to school when she was young, but felt too stifled so she is home-schooled as the book begins. She enjoys drawing and talking about nature and reading. She is very creative.
