One of her favorite books: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.
Why it’s her favorite book: I read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane in the fifth grade. I remember being enthralled by the storyline and looking forward to reading each chapter. The story is about a porcelain rabbit who gets separated from his owner and learns how to love and receive love over time. I love this book because it teaches such a simple yet important lesson while the protagonist goes on a long and unexpected journey.
