Author Description

This picturebook for Oz fans of all ages (but more specifically ages 6-10) is by awarded author Ron Baxley, Jr. and is illustrated by Allison Exley. Within it, the goose who laid the golden eggs, Goldey Goosey, finds herself in adventures and misadventures in Sky Island, the Land of Oz, and Appalachia in the United States in the "Out World". Classic fairy tales, Oz books, and even a traditional, public domain folk song are mentioned in the fun, suspenseful narrative. Digital paintings compliment the narrative in a whimsical style which appeals to modern children.
