==Plot==
A 10-year-old girl named Opal had just moved to a trailer park in the small town of Naomi, Florida, with her father. While in the Winn-Dixie supermarket, she sees a scruffy dog wrecking the store. Opal claims the dog is hers and asks her father to list ten things about her mother, who abandoned them. Miss Franny Block, a librarian, shares great stories about her past including one about her great-grandfather, whose family members died while he was fighting for the South in the Civil War. He invented Littmus Lozenge candies, which tasted like a root beer and strawberry but included a secret ingredient — sorrow. Anyone who tasted the candies tasted sweetness mixed with sadness. In ''Because of Winn-Dixie'', these candies symbolize that even though life sometimes deals people a bit of sadness, there is always much to appreciate.
Otis, owner of the pet shop, is unwilling to hire Opal as a cleaning girl, but she comes to work. When Opal finishes cleaning the windows, she and Winn-Dixie step into the store, and the animals panic when they see the big dog. Otis plays his guitar to calm them. Opal and recovering alcoholic Gloria decide to host a small party, inviting everyone they know. They set up everything outside, but it starts to rain, so they bring the party inside. Opal can't find Winn-Dixie anywhere, even after searching the town. Ten minutes after she returns home, Winn-Dixie comes to Gloria's house and scratches at the door. They then continue the party by singing songs all together.
