From the Publisher:

"Though he worked long hours Walt was a doting father. He showered Diane and Sharon with presents and cried unashamedly at their weddings. He took them camping on taught them how to swim and hide horseback. He had a movie theater and giant soda machine in their house and loved entertaining the girls and their friends. He rarely went to Hollywood parties, and both he and Lillian sheltered the girls from his fame. Once, when Diane was six, she was approached by a classmate who asked her, "Your father is the creator of Mickey Mouse?"

Diane went home and said,"Daddy, you never told me you were that Walt Disney."
