Nevertheless, she persisted in finding ways to express her creative spirit. Oftentimes, she came across barriers as other people did not appreciate her love of colors and her imaginative look at the world. The book focuses on Mary’s lifelong love of bright, vibrant colors and how she brought that to her artistic vision. For example, “ Pocket Full of Colors” is a delightful picture book telling the story of Mary Blair, an innovative artist who was one of the first women to work at Walt Disney Studios and was responsible for Disneyland’s iconic “It’s a Small World” ride. Women’s History Month in March is a great opportunity to introduce young children to stories about influential women throughout history. By Jen Fitzgerald, youth services librarian at SCLSNJ’s North Plainfield Memorial Library branch.
