Because of Winn-Dixie

Because of Winn-Dixie
By: Kate DiCamillo

You can describe this wonderful story in two words: amazing and inspirational. From beginning to end, this story of friendship is incredibly inspiring. It was enjoyable. I found myself laughing, crying, and praying that Winn-Dixie would keep himself out of trouble with each turn of the page.

I believe that each and every one of us has that one special friend that we can rely on to help us through anything. That friend could be the person who has been in your life since kindergarten, a stuffed animal, an actual animal, and adult, a teacher. The possibilities are endless. What's important is the way we can relate to that friend unlike we are able to relate to anyone else. Winn-Dixie is a prime example of that friend.

This remarkable read should be used in classrooms worldwide. Many life lessons can be seen from this book.
