Book by Book: Kate DiCamillo, beloved, best-selling, and multiple award-winning children’s book authorI could go on and on about the magic that is Kate DiCamillo’s writing. Her ability to tell stories that kids love, book after book—from Because of Winn-Dixie to Flora and Ulysses; the Mercy Watson books to The Puppets of Spelhorst, and many more—is remarkable. For adults, reading her books brings back our own sense of childhood wonder and joy, which is a treasure in and of itself.
