SAN ANTONIO - EntSun -- In a truly magical and unprecedented literary event, we are thrilled to announce the release of "The Hidden Magic of Oz - An Untold Story of Courage, Truth, and Cheese," a captivating new children's picture book co-authored by the legendary L. Frank Baum and his great-grandson Richard L. Baum. This enchanting tale, set in the magical world of Oz, is scheduled for release on August 15, 2024.

Synopsis: Young Jack Boothe lives on a dairy farm with his Ma, Pa, and his dearest friend, Imogene, a miniature cow whose milk makes the Boothe Brand of cottage cheese. One day, when Imogene's milk isn't quite right, Jack takes her for a walk to a neighbor's garden. Imogene can't resist the flowers and starts eating them, leaving Jack in a moral dilemma. With courage, Jack decides to tell the truth. To their surprise, Imogene begins to glow with rainbow colors, and her milk becomes magical.

Jack and his mother visit their neighbor to apologize and bring a gift of their finest cheese. Their neighbor, a gentleman with a tip of his hat, graciously accepts their apology and reveals that the flowers are magical and made Imogene's milk extraordinary.

In a twist of fate, enchanted by the cheese, the fine gentleman decides to personally visit Mrs. Boothe and thank her for the cheese. This moment is captured by a real poem written by L. Frank Baum himself, thanking Mrs. Boothe for her cheese, a situation that happened in real life. This previously unpublished poem, filled with Baum's characteristic charm and humor, is a highlight of the book.
