The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (Illustrated Edition)
by Kate DiCamillo
A china rabbit doll named Edward Tulane begins as a vain, self-absorbed toy who cares only about his appearance and fine clothes. Through a series of adventures that separate him from his beloved owner Abilene, Edward passes through the hands of various people including a hobo, a sick child, and others who teach him about love, loss, and the importance of caring for others. This deeply moving tale explores themes of personal growth, empathy, and the transformative power of love, as Edward learns to open his heart and truly care about those around him.
