We're All Wonders

It’s good for children to know people who ate different from them, are still wonders!

I had heard about the book and movie Wonder when they came out but I didn't know much about them. My kids' school is reading Wonder together as a project to choose kindness. My twins are in 4K so they are reading this book instead and I decided to buy one for us to have at home. I haven't yet read Wonder but it's next on my pile of books to read so I can't compare the books as of this point. My twins are five and both said they love this book! It's a beautiful picture book about Auggie, a boy who was born a bit different from other kids but he wants to be accepted for who he is. The pictures are beautiful and the story encourages young children to think about the importance of being kind to everyone which is a great concept to begin early in life! We've read this book a number of times already and my kids really pay attention to it while I'm reading it to them. Kids may have questions about the story so it's important for parents to help explain it. Overall, I feel this is a great book and I'm glad our school is reading this together!

I've read the original chapter book and gave it to my 10 year old nephew. He loved it! My mom read it as well and she loved it. I wanted to share the story with my 3 year old niece and my students (3 year old class). Such a wonderful message and this version is perfect for them to sit through the reading and understand. I bought this copy for my sister to share with her 3rd grade class. This is a great teaching tool that I would reccommend! Beautiful illustrations as well as a powerful message!

Kids love this story book

I read this book to my almost 3.5 years old son and he understands the story quite well. I use this book to teach him to be kind to others who look different from him and teaches him about diversity. I love how it talks about the boy can’t change the way he looks but we all can change the way see, perceive and act towards others. I love the ending how it shows another boy wants to be friends with him and how it can make a difference and a wonder in people and the world we live in. My son asks to read this book every night. Kindness rules!

My very own copy of We're All Wonders by R.J.Palacio arrived on Monday! I just could not wait to share it with you! R.J. Palacio wrote and illustrated this picture book for young readers to experience the magic of the novel Wonder, which was made into a movie last year. Auggie Pullman is a young boy who has a rare disease, Treacher Collins Syndrome, which causes him to have multiple facial disfigurements. In the movie, Principal Mr. Tushman says: "Auggie Pullman can’t change the way he looks, But maybe we can change how we see.” The hope of this picture book is that we will see with new eyes and we find that what we see is beautiful. We're all wonders. We're all special. We're all unique. We need to choose kindness and "see" who WE really Are.

I've read this to my two daughters, 5 & 3, and my third-grade class. My daughters loved the pictures and my 5-year-old caught onto the theme of the story early on. My 3-year-old also loved the pictures but didn't really get the theme. My third-graders all loved the story and connected personally to Auggie's struggle. I love that this book doesn't tell much of the novel at all, it's really a great introduction to the series of books for my third-graders who are still a little young for some of the things that Auggie struggles with in the Wonder novel, but it goes along well enough with introducing kindness and the 365 Days of Wonder precepts I do in my classroom and when the class is older, in the spring, they'll be able to read Wonder.

I thought there would be more examples of differences that children have.

Bought this for my 6 year old daughter. I think she will love it. I have read it now and loved it myself

Amazingly beautiful! I’ve purchase it to use in class with my students and they loved it!!! A nice book not only for kids!!

Wonder is different than other kids but he is also the same. A great book to discuss how we are all unique and what happens when we're unkind to others.

Great thoughts about different people in the world and how we see each other. Heartwarming and very worthwhile. Strongly recommended.

a delightful book , that addresses the need to be inclusive and accepting of each other despite differences especially those that are physical or appearance based ! the illustrations are wonderful and the text is an easy read , for toddlers and threenagers to understand the essence of the subject being discussed! one my son's (3.8yrs ) favourite book .
