Thank you, Edward Tulane, for teaching me that you can learn about love and life from everything. Even from a china rabbit doll.

Thank you, Edward Tulane, for your miraculous journey. For showing repeatedly that even after lots of disappointment and misfortune, it is still possible to hope. And what a magnificent thing that is, to be able to hope.

And last but not least, thank you, Edward Tulane, for being such a memorable character. Now I automatically think of your name first every time I heard "Edward" is being mentioned. It used to be "Edward Cullen ". For that, Edward Tulane, I would be eternally thankful.

P.s. Ultimate special thanks to Kate DiCamillo for writing such a wonderful story and Bagram Ibatoulline for the beautiful illustration.
