Rosemary Wells, the author of the childrens books the show is based on, says: We dont see Max and Rubys parents because I believe that kids resolve their issues and conflicts differently when theyre on their own. The television series gives kids a sense about how these two siblings resolve their conflicts in a humorous and entertaining way.[3] For the first season, Jamie Whitney was the director, and the first episodes were mostly written by Kate Barris and Patrick Granleese. While some of the stories were adapted from the books, the number of TV episodes eventually surpassed the number of books written by Wells.[citation needed]\r

Samantha Morton was the voice of Ruby until the third season. Billy Rosemberg was the voice of Max until the following season. In Season 3, Rebecca Peters replaced Samantha Morton as the voice of Ruby. In Season 4, Tyler Stevenson replaced Billy Rosemberg as the voice of Max.
