We're All Wonders

We're All Wonders | R. J. Palacio

22 posts | 29 read | 23 to read

The unforgettable bestseller Wonder has inspired a nationwide movement to Choose Kind. Now parents and educators can introduce the importance of choosing kind to younger readers with this gorgeous picture book, featuring Auggie and Daisy on an original adventure, written and illustrated by R. J. Palacio. Over 5 million people have fallen in love with Wonder and have joined the movement to Choose Kind. Now younger readers can meet Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face, and his beloved dog, Daisy. Countless fans have asked R. J. Palacio to write a book for younger readers. With We’re All Wonders, she makes her picture-book debut as both author and artist, with a spare, powerful text and striking, richly imagined illustrations. 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. We’re All Wonders may be Auggie’s story, but it taps into every child’s longing to belong, and to be seen for who they truly are. It’s the perfect way for families and educators to talk about empathy and kindness with young children.

We're All Wonders | R. J. Palacio

Just reread this to my boys (the picture book version of the amazing YA novel). School starts Monday and this was the perfect reminder to always be kind. Sit with the kids who are alone. If someone looks upset, ask if they‘re okay. Be good little humans. We are all important and special. We all matter. I‘m proud of what nice kids my sons are. š’š’

We're All Wonders | R. J. Palacio

A great realistic fiction picture book that I would use as a read aloud. It is another version of WONDER but for a younger age group. Would definitely have a class discussion before and after about respecting others and not judging by appearances. Bought this book for my 3 yr old and she loves the illustrations. ELL would include vocab words in native language or a translated version of text. Teacher/student resource #Lae3414spring19

My 6 year old just read this book to me, and like the original, it made me cry. The story and illustrations are beautiful! This was good timing because next week, my sweet boy will begin volunteering once a month with the Best Buddies program at his school. So proud of him! š’

R.J. Palacio does it again with this NY Times Bestselling F installment of the popular chapter book, Wonder! This beautifully illustrated picture book with impactful text introduces young readers to Auggie, a boy with a unique face, and his best friend and dog, Daisy. Auggie expresses his desire to belong, and beckons readers to change the way they see. It opens the discussion of kindness and empathy in students and is great for RA!

Laura.S @LisaMart this looks so cute! I‘m sure if you read wonder to a class they would be super excited to read more books by the same author! Definitely gonna have to check this out. 7y

LisaMart @laura.s It is so cute and perfect for K-2 classes that may not be ready for the actual Wonder novel. And when they do read the chapter book they‘ll be able to make a connection to the character because they have heard of him before. I love the messages Palacio‘s books bring into the classroom. Now more than ever it is important to teach our students kindness above all, and I think her books serve this purpose. Thank you!! 7y

DrSpalding Wonderful post. So many of your peers have enjoyed the novel version. If you have yet to see the movie, be sure to see it. Read aloud is perfect and discussing the theme of inclusion and being tolerant and kind of people with unique abilities, is so important. 7y

AmeliaS21 This looks so cute! I read Wonder for my independent reading. This looks like a great way to introduce kids to Auggie! 7y

Sweet message in a very simple book. Even if you don‘t know anything about Wonder, you can see that Auggie is different, and he helps kids to understand that the earth is big enough for all kinds of people, and we should treat each other kindly.

I‘m so happy to now own the picture book and chapter book versions of Wonder. Whether I teach upper or lower elementary, I‘ll be able to share Auggie‘s story with my future students! #choosekind š’™

"...people can change the way they see. If they do, they'll see that I'm a wonder." This RF picture book is a much shorter version of the New York Times Bestseller and highly awarded novel, Wonder, written by R. J. Palacio, and is a perfect RA, S, RT and AS book. This picture book brings the original novel to life for younger children who are not ready to read chapter books just yet, and it still highlights the lesson that we should always

jvinas2 try to see people for who they truly are, not what they look like. Also, because the novel has been made into a movie,this book can reach a much bigger demographic, especially to those who see the movie and again, cannot read novels just yet. ESOL strategies 10, 16 & 17 and UDL guidelines 2.2, 2.5 and 3.2 would be very beneficial to incorporate before, during and after reading this picture book because clarifying syntax, 7y

jvinas2 illustrating through different media and highlighting big ideas can promote better comprehension and encourage discussions within the class. This link leads you to a pdf file that has discussion questions and activities you can utilize when reading the book: 7y

Good morning from my little monsters!
It‘s so early but I can‘t resist when they ask me to read to them. š„ I love the middle grade Wonder book so I was excited to see a picture book I could share with my kids. They pointed out the things that are different about Auggie but then we pointed out the things that are the same. I love that his differences aren‘t portrayed as a disability. And most importantly, his message to be kind. #raisingreaders

Since reading Wonder by R. J. Palacio several years ago, and absolutely falling in love with it, I had been wondering if she was going to come out with a picture book with a similar theme. Here it is! Hot off the presses this week. While this picture book doesn't capture the depth of the important themes that Wonder did, it does have awesome illustrations and an important message: "Look with kindness and you will always find Wonder." #choosekind

asiriusreader Meant to say, this is appropriate for kids and adults of any age! I'll be sharing it with my 4th graders this coming week. And if you haven't read Wonder yet, read it!! It's such a wonderful story with a heartfelt and true message.
