Virtually the Author
Kate DiCamillo says of writing Because OF WINN-DIXIE, "I was living in an apartment where no dogs were allowed. As a event, I was suffering from a serious instance of 'dog withdrawal.' One nighttime, before I went to slumber, I heard this little girl's voice (with a Southern accent) say, 'I accept a domestic dog named Winn-Dixie.' When I woke upwards the next morning time, the vocalization was all the same talking, and I started writing down what India Opal Buloni was telling me. The volume is (I promise) a hymn of praise to dogs, friendship, and the Due south."
