I was pleased to see the Google logo thingy this morning is celebrating Mary Blair, a fantastic old illustrator from around the 50's. She did a lot of concept work for early Disney movies, and also a stack of children's books.
We photocopied and framed a couple of pages from her book, "I Can Fly" a couple of years back to put on the walls in Little e's room. She had a great, and very influential style- often imitated, seldom matched.

I've seen so many cartoons in this style of drawing. Now I know the inspiration! Very beautiful indeed. They have a magical quality to them.
Did she do Golden Books? The style triggers vague memories of some of them.
No need to answer that - Wikipedia says 'yes'.
