“This book is (I hope) a hymn of praise to dogs, friendship, and the South,” Kate DiCamillo said of her best-selling debut novel, which has been awarded a Newbery Honor, translated into nearly thirty languages, and turned into a major motion picture. The story of a preacher’s daughter named Opal whose life is transformed by a scruffy dog named Winn-Dixie continues to touch the hearts of readers of all ages. The 25th anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller is a beautiful keepsake for any reader—whether they’re experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.
