About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling restless or curious about the wider world and needs a story that celebrates the joy of the journey rather than just the destination. It is an ideal pick for young readers who enjoy meeting eccentric characters and navigating whimsical, slightly nonsensical problems with a sense of optimism and grace. In this graphic novel adaptation, Dorothy Gale finds herself on a spontaneous adventure after helping a mysterious Shaggy Man find his way. Along with a boy who is perpetually lost and a daughter of the rainbow, she travels through strange lands where people are transformed into animals for their cleverness. The story emphasizes kindness, hospitality, and the value of a carefree spirit, making it a safe yet mentally stimulating choice for elementary-aged children who love classic fantasy with a modern, visual twist.
