Judy Garland (1922–1969): Born Frances Ethel Gumm, Judy Garland was an American actress and singer whose extraordinary career spanned over four decades. She remains best known to audiences worldwide for her iconic portrayal of Dorothy Gale in the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz, a role that made her a beloved figure for generations.

A Star From the Start: Judy began performing as a child alongside her sisters and signed with MGM at just 13 years of age. Her powerful voice, emotional depth, and natural screen presence set her apart as one of Hollywood's most gifted performers.

Liza Minnelli (born 1946): Liza Minnelli is an American actress, singer, and dancer — the only child of Judy Garland and celebrated film director Vincente Minnelli. She inherited her mother's extraordinary talent and went on to become a star in her own right.

Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.

Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.

Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.

Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.

Biography Series: The line has also published occasional biographies; recent examples include Betty White, Dolly Parton, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Enduring Legacy: The series started with publishing firm Simon & Schuster, with Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin handling print operations. Today, Penguin Random House is its current publisher. At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold.
