Paralleling the passing of the seasons, this debut novel tenderly portrays the cycle of life with its attendant joy and grief from the perspective of a down-to-earth heroine. As March Anne watches Grenna decline, she must confront her past before she can accept the present. Grenna’s unexpected heart attack during the summer triggers March Anne’s own loss over her mother. Flitting about like a busy hummingbird, Grenna knows everything about growing watermelons, making pumpkin preserves and Tanner family history. March Anne’s grandmother, Grenna, has raised her since her mother died. March Anne and her two best friends in the Pseudonymphs club even change their names seasonally. Growing up on a farm surrounded by acres of green watermelon and pumpkin vines, 12-year-old March Anne Tanner feels one summer’s like every other-something she takes “for granite.” Life on the Tanner farm follows the pattern of the seasons. When confronted with loss, a pre-teen in rural Georgia learns to take nothing for granted.

The book answers everybody’s question about how the amazingly lifelike effects of Disney character animation were achieved, including charming stories of the ways that many favorite animated figures got their unique personalities. With the full cooperation fo Walt Disney Productions and free access to the studio’s priceless archives, the authors took unparalleled advantage of their intimate long-term experience with animated films to choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork carefully stored away. Besides relating the painstaking trial-and-error development of Disney’s charcter animation technology, this book irresistibly charms us with almost an overabundance of the original historic drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White and Bambi (among many, many others) as well as early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic features such as Fantasia and Pinocchio. Not to be mistaken for just a “how-to-do-it,” this voluminously illustrated volume (like the classic Disney films themselves) is definitely intended for everyone to enjoy. |
