Mary always loves colors when she was young. She was an adventurous girl when it comes to different colors and shapes. She and her family moved to a new place where she continues to collect different colors that she saw around her. years later, she was an adult who continues to love art and want to pursue her dreams. She went to Walt Disney where she presented her ideas of the different colors but the men there seem not to be interested in the different colors she presented. She went on a work .where she even collects beautiful colors from South America. She presents her idea with a great joy hoping the company will let her use her ideas. They agree to use some of them but not all. Mary decided to leave Walt and later became an illustrator for children's book where she can enjoy exploring the different colors. She seems to miss Walt Disney but then she receives a call. It was Walt telling her to come back to Walt Disney but she told him one condition which is to use her ideas of exploring the beautiful colors of art.

I really love the book. It showcases the beautiful colors of Art. The Authors and Illustrators did a really good job to help little kids to want to read because it is so colorful. I also love the story behind it. The story is realistic and beautiful and well tell. I think this is by far one of my favorite children book to read. it is easy to understand and to follow along. It is a very exciting and beautiful book. I think the authors really did a great job to help little kids to imagine and to dream of the different colors in life. I also really like how they describe each color with the color of different things so that kids can look around and learn the different colors. I enjoy this book a lot. It is the best book that kids should read and learn the different colors and enjoy it.
