Wonder by R.J. Palacio
5.0

Just finished my first 5-star read of the year, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, and it’s a book that truly touched my heart. As someone who works in special education, the message of this story hit close to home. Auggie Pullman’s journey of navigating a world that often struggles to accept differences is both realistic and deeply moving.

This coming-of-age story captures the importance of kindness, empathy, and seeing the world through others eyes. It’s a reminder of the incredible impact that compassion can have.

Books like Wonder bring up conversations that matter. They remind us to be better, do better, and teach others to do the same. I can only imagine the positive influence this book has had on classrooms, families, and hearts everywhere. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend picking it up. It’s a story that stays with you long after you turn the final page.
