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 6 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.

It’s the perfect way for families and educators to talk about empathy and kindness with young children.Praise for Wonder:A #1 New York Times BestsellerA USA Today Top 100 BestsellerAn Indie BestsellerA Time Magazine 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time SelectionA Washington Post Best Kids’ BookA Parents Magazine Top 10 Book of the YearA New York Times Book Review Notable BookAn NPR Outstanding Backseat Book Club PickAn Entertainment Weekly 10 Great Kids’ Books SelectionA Publishers Weekly Best Book of the YearA School Library Journal Best Book of the YearA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearA Booklist Editors’ ChoiceAn E.
