We're All Wonders
Written & Illustrated by
R.J. Palacio

Flap Copy Description:
Auggie Knows He's Not An Ordinary Kid.
He does plenty of ordinary things. He feels ordinary. He just doesn't look ordinary.

Growing up as an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face isn't easy, but Auggie is a wonder. He and his trusty sidekick, Daisy, play ball, eat ice cream, and use their imaginations to soar through their days together. They know it's not just Auggie who's different. Everyone is different, and everyone is a wonder - if only they could see it.
Featuring the beloved hero from the worldwide bestselling sensation Wonder, this original adventure taps into every child's longing to be seen for who they truly are.

My Thoughts:
As with Ms. Palacio's other Wonder books, We're All Wonders is fantastic! This picture book brilliantly conveys to younger children the same message of kindness and tolerance as the previous books that inspired the "choose kind" movement across the county. Written with truth & compassion, and exquisitely illustrated, We're All Wonders is a keepsake in my house. (A great title to read to young guests.) I highly recommend this powerful little book to readers aged four to seven!
