Overview
R.J. Palacio’s Wonder is a heartfelt novel about acceptance, kindness, and the transformative power of empathy. At its center is Auggie Pullman, a boy with a facial difference who enters a mainstream school for the first time. As Auggie navigates friendship, bullying, and identity, the story unfolds through multiple perspectives, giving readers a multifaceted look at how our actions affect others.
Wonder is widely celebrated in elementary and middle school classrooms for its accessible storytelling and social-emotional depth. Its universal themes make it a powerful tool for promoting inclusivity and emotional intelligence. Teachers, librarians, and literacy leaders will find it a versatile addition to SEL curricula and a favorite for school-wide kindness campaigns.
