About this book

This biography presents the life of Walt Disney for readers ages 6 to 9. Disney was an artist who created animated television shows, movies, and amusement parks. Before achieving worldwide recognition with characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Disney was a boy in the Midwest who enjoyed drawing. He developed skills in using new technology to produce cartoons for audiences around the world. The book is structured with short chapters and straightforward language to support independent reading for early elementary students. It includes word definitions, discussion questions, and explores the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of Disney's life. Readers will learn about the history of Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and Disney's impact on animation and entertainment. The book is part of the Story Of series, which covers other historical figures including Fred Rogers, Jim Henson, Stan Lee, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Audrey Hepburn.
