The Flying Girl would make a good first production, if you'd like to take it on! See https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-ste...

Make sure to thank your wife on my behalf for her hard work at PG!

What a great idea! There was also a sequel:

I'll look into doing these, I also know a librarian who might be interested.

I really can't believe Disney or Pixar, or some studio didn't make "The Flying Girl" into a movie. It really was bold and quite moving to see Baum (writing nom de plum as Edith Van Dyne) make the female character the hero, back in 1911.
