Author, R.J. Palacio was inspired to write the novel Wonder after an incident where she and her three-year-old son were waiting in line to buy ice cream. Her son noticed a girl with facial birth defects. In an effort to remove her son from the situation before he could say something embarrassing, she ended up making the situation worse.

The scenario in the park,coupled with Natalie Merchant’s song “Wonder” inspired Palacio to begin writing in order to teach society a valuable lesson….we’re all wonders!
In her book titled, We’re All Wonders, Palacio shows readers what it’s like to live in Auggie’s world—a world in which he feels like any other kid, but he’s not always seen that way.

In the book, Auggie says that everyone is a Wonder. What he means by this is know matter what you look like… we are all unique in our own way and should be accepted. What makes you unique?
