Wonder by R. J. Palacio

Wonder is a book that teaches our children diversity through understanding the perspective of children with deformities and disabilities and how they view the world around them. The book begins by talking about Auggie, a ten-year-old boy who was born with a deformity on his face. 

The author was able to present many prospects of their interactions with Auggie, how they each reacted when first meeting him, and how their relationships developed. The author also touched on Auggie's family, how they feel about Auggie, and their interactions with others. 

The book shows the perspective of Auggie and how he feels when meeting new people, and it also shows the perspective of other children meeting him for the first time, their reactions, and how his relationships develop. I loved that the theme of the book was to teach the impact of being a kind and good person and what it means to others.
