Frank Baum Author & Editor

Rebecca Sorge loves telling stories and drawing pictures, so becoming an illustrator made perfect sense. She recently graduated from Brigham Young University with a BFA in Illustration. She currently lives and works in Utah, creating art for children’s books, magazines, posters, cards, and anything else people will let her draw on. - Born in New York in 1856, L. Frank Baum had his first best-selling children's book with 1899's Father Goose, His Book. The following year, Baum scored an even bigger hit with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and went on to write 13 more Oz books before his death in 1919. His stories have formed the basis for such popular films as The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) -
