**Mary Blair's favorite color was white - the color of possibility!
**Even as a child, Mary Blair loved color, and all she wanted to do was
to make art. But becoming an artist wasn't 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. 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.
Includes an artist's note, a note from Mary's niece Maggie Richardson,
and a list of books by and about Mary.
