Discover how Lillian Bounds Disney helped shape the Disney legacy as a cartoon artist and innovator in this insightful and inspiring (School Library Journal, starred review) picture book biography, perfect for Disney fans everywhere!

As a child, Lilly learned that working behind-the-scenes was its own special talent. When she grew up, her magical sense of adventure led her to the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. She became one of the first women in the animation industry, where she worked as an ink and paint artist and later, as the studio's first secretary.

After Lilly and Walt fell in love, they got married in 1925, and Lilly continued adding her own magic to Walt's wild ideas--including encouraging him to keep trying cartoons when the studio was in danger of closing and giving Mickey Mouse his name. Together, they became an unstoppable team. From cartoon ideas to theme park innovations, Lilly helped shape Disney history.
