"Because of Winn-Dixie" tells the story of a young girl named Opal who moves to a small town in Florida with her father, the local preacher. Feeling lonely and struggling to adapt to her new surroundings, she adopts a stray dog she names Winn-Dixie after the grocery store where she finds him. With Winn-Dixie's friendly and sociable nature, Opal begins to make friends in the community, forging connections and discovering the importance of companionship and empathy. As she learns about the lives of others, Opal also confronts her own feelings of abandonment and loss, ultimately finding a sense of belonging.
