The Wizard of Oz

Author: L. Frank Baum

Dorothy Gale’s life in Kansas is as gray as the prairie skies, until a cyclone whisks her away to the vibrant, magical land of Oz. With her loyal dog Toto by her side, Dorothy embarks on a journey to find the Wizard, who she believes can help her return home. Along the way, she befriends a Scarecrow longing for brains, a Tin Woodman desiring a heart, and a Cowardly Lion seeking courage. Each step on the yellow brick road brings them closer to their dreams, but also to the realization that what they seek might already be within them. Baum’s timeless tale is a heartwarming adventure that reminds us all of the power of friendship and the importance of believing in oneself.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
