About the Book
Young Mary Browne Robinson loved color, even her name had a color in it. All she wanted to do was to make art. But becoming an artist wasn't an easy. Her parents worked hard to provide her paper and paints, and Mary worked hard to enter contests and earn a spot at a school for the arts. She even had to work hard to find her place at the Walt Disney Studios. But Walt was easily impressed by Mary Blair. When she joined his trip to South America, Mary had never seen such color. She collected that color and used it in her concept art for Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan, and even the It's a Small World attraction at Disneyland. This beautifully illustrated picture book shares Mary's story, in all its inspiring flair.
My Take on the Book
What an amazing women whose work you saw in so many early Walt Disney movies. Her sense of color and style really allowed the movies to thrive even today. The book is full of vibrant pictures that show her work as well as a great story that makes you both applaud and wonder what will come next. If you have a daughter this is a book that you will want to read with her.
