Notes From Your Bookseller

An unforgettable new novel from two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo (the author of Because of Winn-Dixie and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane), Raymie Nightingale tells the story of a girl who is determined to win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition in the hopes of bringing back her father, who has left town. When Raymie signs up for a baton-twirling class, she meets two girls whose backgrounds and dreams are very different from her own—and the unlikely friendship that forms between the trio will delight and inspire readers of all ages.
Raymie Nightingale is a tale filled with humor, heart, and above all, hope.
Below, author Kate DiCamillo shares a few words about the book in an introduction to its stunning trailer.
