Holly Goldberg Sloan
$18.99
Julia is very short for her age, but by the end of the summer run of The
Wizard of Oz, she’ll realise how big she is inside, where it counts. She hasn’t
ever thought of herself as a performer, but when the wonderful director of
Oz casts her as a Munchkin, she begins to see herself in a new way. As Julia
becomes friendly with the poised and wise Olive — one of the adults with
dwarfism who’ve joined the production’s motley crew of Munchkins – and
with her deeply artistic neighbour, Mrs Chang, Julia’s own sense of self as
an artist grows. Soon, she doesn’t want to fade into the background — and
it’s a good thing, because her director has more big plans for Julia!

Counting by 7s, Holly Goldberg Sloan
