Wonder by Palacio R J
One of the best books Ive ever read. August Pullman, born with facial differences, enters public school for the first time, teaching his classmates and community about acceptance and resilience. Through multiple perspectives, readers learn about compassion and the challenges of fitting in. August’s journey inspired me to always choose kindness.
This is a heartwarming story about a young boy called Auggie! Auggie was born with a facial deformity. When Auggie goes to public school for the first time and runs into many challenges. There are themes of kindness, acceptance, and courage from this story.
This is a great book for later elementary/early middle school
I would use this in my classroom when teaching about empathy.

This book is about August “Auggie” Pullman, a 10 year old boy with a facial deformity caused by a genetic condition. Auggie has always been homeschooled, but this book begins as he starts his first year at a “normal” school. This book is told through multiple perspectives as we follow Auggie as he navigates school, fitting in, friendship, and family relationships. This book is so amazing and would reccomend it to any grades 5-7. This book creates empathy and shows what being a true friend should look like. I would use this in my classroom when learning about empathy, friendship, and disabilities.… (more)
