Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

5.0

This is the first time I've picked up this book since I was a child, and I forgot how much I loved this book until now. This is the one children's book I remember from my childhood and I had convinced myself that I'd imagined this book because no one else I knew remembered it or knew what I was talking about, but reading it again brought it all back for me. This book makes me feel some sort of unadulterated, childlike happiness that I haven't felt in a number of years, and it makes me nostalgic for the years when I could run around, climb trees, read in the sunlight and not have to be worrying about every responsibility I was ignoring to be able to relax. Thank you to my friend Em for giving me this book because I adored being able to read it again and I look forward to being able to keep it so I can give it to my own children eventually.
