Pencils, Pens & Brushes is a colorful, educational inspiration.
A whimsical and wonderful biographical account, the book focuses on key accomplishments of many “Great Girls” of Disney animation who inspire with their talents at the turn of each page. Readers catch a glimpse of the lives and contributions of Lillian and Edna Disney, Mary Blair (“color designer extraordinaire”), Grace Huntington (writer and pilot), Mary Costa (voice of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty) and many others.

It includes a timeline of Disney achievements, as well as a neat summary of how animation is made because “Great Girls of animation understand each role, for it takes many hands to achieve one goal!”
