Who Was Walt Disney? By Whitney Stewart
This engaging biography introduces homeschool students to the life of Walt Disney, a creative visionary who loved to entertain from a young age—even if it sometimes got him into trouble. From painting with tar on his family's white house to dreaming big on a Missouri farm, Walt’s early experiences shaped the imaginative world he would later create.

With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this biography offers insight into the man behind the magic in a way that’s accessible and enjoyable for young readers.
