Pocket Full of Colors: The Magical World of Mary Blair, Disney Artist Extraordinaire

This biography follows Mary Blair from a childhood attentive to color into work as an illustrator, designer, and animator at Walt Disney Studios. Her imagination favored unusually bright, fantastical images, including colored skies, giraffes, and flying horses. At the studio, she worked amid men who often preferred a restrained black-and-white approach and objected to her style. After leaving, she returned to create It’s a Small World, drawing on the bold visual imagination that defined her work.
