Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
|
Here, taste a Littmus Lozenge. "It tastes like root beer and strawberry." It has a secret ingredient. Can you taste it? It is the taste of sorrow. What is the taste of sorrow in your life?
For Opal, who first meets her dog, Winn-Dixie, a stray dog who is making a huge mess in the Winn-Dixie grocery store, it is missing her mother who left her when she was two. Each person who Opal meets, has his or her own taste of sorrow: her father, the preacher, Franny, the librarian, Gloria Dump, the witch, Sweetie Pie Thomas, the Dewberry boys who seem to always be picking on her, and the guitar playing Otis. But like the Littmus Lozenge, their sadness is mixed within the sweetness of life.
Find out all the sweetness and sorrow in Opal's life that occur because of Winn-Dixie in this book by Kate DiCamillo.
