Wonder - R.J. Palacio

Middle-grade novel by R. J. Palacio following August “Auggie” Pullman, a ten-year-old boy with a significant facial difference, as he transitions from homeschooling to attending school for the first time. Told through multiple characters’ perspectives, the story explores acceptance, friendship, bullying, empathy, courage, kindness, and belonging. A valuable children’s literature resource for families and educators to encourage age-appropriate conversations about inclusion, disability awareness, compassion, bullying, and treating people with dignity. Auggie is not portrayed as autistic, so the book is best categorized as an inclusion and disability-awareness resource rather than an autism-specific book.
