Wonder

R. J. Palacio

Ever wished you could change something about the way you look? Maybe you want a straighter nose, smoother skin or smaller ears. It would just be easier if we were perfect, right? Wonder is a book that shows its readers just how beautiful they are, despite their ‘imperfections’. We may not be able to choose the body we want to walk around in or the face we want looking back at us in the mirror, but we can choose other more valuable qualities. Kindness, friendship, courage, self worth, sympathy, growth. These are worth proving to yourself and to others. Because the thing about aspiring to the perfect look is that, it doesn’t exist.
