Ten-year-old India Opal Boulogne moves with her father to the tiny southern town of Naomi and feels terribly lonely - until one fine day she meets a ridiculous stray dog in a supermarket called Winn-Dixie who can smile perfectly. humanly. The girl has no choice but to take him with her and call him Winn-Dixie. A funny dog teaches her little owner to look at the world with different eyes: thanks to her, Opal meets amazing people and finally finds friends where she least expected it. American Kate DiCamillo has been writing books for children all her life, which are hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic. Her book about a funny and completely unusual mongrel named Winn-Dixie received a Parents' Choice Gold Medal in 2000, and then a Newbery Medal, a prize awarded for a special contribution to American children's literature. A few years later, a film was made based on “Winn-Dixie,” which made the writer’s name even more popular.
