The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Tell about your favorite part from the story The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
My favorite part of the story is how Edward learned the importance of love and hope. He seemed to have learned he could not live without love or hope after the china doll with the green satin dress told him to always believe someone will come. He then believed and Abilene came!
