Once there was a little girl named Mary Browne Robinson. She was happy little girl who loved art and she was lucky that she was born into an artistic family. Both of her parents were artists and they supported her love of art...and even let her attend art school! After art school she married another artist named Lee and she became Mary Blair. Lee and Mary both went to work as artists for the Walt Disney Studios. While there she worked on movies like Lady and the Tramp and Dumbo. She enjoyed her work but she wasn't completely happy, so she left. Mary wanted to work on her own art. While Lee still worked at Walt Disney Studios he had a chance to tour South America with other Disney artists. Mary was allowed to join Lee on this trip. Mary was inspired! So many new things to see in so many bright colors with the colors being used in so many unique ways. Mary decided to back to the Walt Disney Studios and she worked on movies like Peter Pan and Cinderella. But Walt Disney had bigger plans for Mary. Walt was working on a new attraction for Disneyland and he wanted MARY to design it. It was to feature children from around the world and hopefully promote world peace. Can you guess which attraction Mary designed? This book was so much fun. I really love learning and reading just about anything related to Mary Blair and the colors in the book were so appropriate for Mary's artistic work.
