Because of Winn-Dixie (Karena Winn-Dixie)

Winn-Dixie's personality feels so real and lovable — I wonder what inspired his quirks and how DiCamillo envisioned his role in the story.

The supporting characters felt so authentic and layered. I’d love to hear if others picked up on subtle details that hinted at their backstories.

The way the narrative unfolds seems to emphasize emotional growth. I'm curious if this storytelling choice was intentional to highlight those themes.
