Ivy Maria Lopez from Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan is musical, thoughtful and a daydreamer. In the beginning her story, Ivy asks her mother,
“‘Mama, is it possible to be inside a song?’
‘Ivy, what nonsense is this?’
‘When I play the harmonica I feel like I am traveling on the notes. To faraway places,’”(371) This passage proves that Ivy is a daydreamer by showing how she thinks about things in a way that is not entirely reality, for example feeling like she is riding on the melody. It also demonstrates her love for music by showing that she feels like she is one with the music. At one part of the book, when Kenny Yamamoto is about to come, she gets the garden all ready for him to make him happy and paints over the graffiti to protect his feelings..
