About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small, incapable, or like they are missing some essential quality like courage or smarts to handle a big change. While it is a classic adventure, at its heart, it is a guide for navigating the 'cyclones' of life and realizing that the tools for success are already within us. After Dorothy is swept from her Kansas home to the Land of Oz, she must embark on a quest to find her way back, joined by friends who each believe they are fundamentally flawed. This story is ideal for children aged 7 to 12 who are transitioning into more independent social worlds. Through the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, your child will see that we often already possess the bravery and heart we think we lack. It is a comforting, imaginative journey that reinforces the idea that 'home' is not just a place, but a sense of belonging and self-assurance that we carry with us.
