L. Frank Baum varázslatos meséje a szeretetről, a bátorságról, a barátságról, és az útkereséséről nem csupán a gyerekek számára tanulságos történet. Dorothy napja egy átlagos napnak indul, aztán egy tornádó a kislányt akarata ellenére messzire repíti otthonától, és hirtelen egy nagy összevisszaságba csöppen. A valós életben az embert nem ilyen hurrikánszerűen lepik meg a teendők, és a mindennapokat nem borítja fel mindig egy váratlan esemény? Dorothy útitársai mind vágynak valamire: a Madárijesztő észre, a Bádogember szívre, az Oroszlán pedig bátorságra. Azonban ezeket a tulajdonságokat mégsem külső segítséggel érik el, mindvégig ott lapulnak bennük, saját magukból kell azokat elővarázsolniuk. A történet gyönyörű tanmeséje annak, hogy az élettapasztalatok alapján fejlődve, és önmagunkban bízva meg tudjuk találni a célunkat az életben. A meséhez készült varázslatos illusztrációk nem csak magával ragadják a gyerekeket, hanem segítik is őket megérteni a sorok mögött rejlő emberi utat, a felnövés, az önmagunk megismerésének és elfogadásának a csodáját.
