WONDER IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING JULIA ROBERTS AND JACOB TREMBLAY!
Over 5 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller Wonder—the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement—and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.
In Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. This companion book features conversations between Mr. Browne and Auggie, Julian, Summer, Jack Will, and others, giving readers a special peek at their lives after Wonder ends. Mr. Browne’s essays and correspondence are rounded out by a precept for each day of the year—drawn from popular songs to children’s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills.
There’s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho—and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.
From the Hardcover edition.
Every teacher needs to be a Mr. Browne! I would encourage teachers and their students to read Wonder, Julian, and this book! If only one child is changed it is worth it!
a powerful collection of quotes to stay with you for a long time Wonder is a book that swept through my school, passed from child to child, in 2012. In this new book, we hear directly from Auggie’s teacher, Mr. Browne. Throughout Wonder, Mr. Browne shared precepts, or “words to live by,” as he explains to his students. In this collection, Mr. Browne shares 365 precepts — gatherings of quotes by philosophers, song writers, politicians, fictional characters, and students across the nation. And the results are a book I want to keep with me and share…
Don’t miss this book! Oh, I just love this book. I am a home schooling parent, and every morning, I put the quote for the day from this book on our family chalkboard. We start off our day discussing the quote and how we feel about it, what we think about it. Sometimes we are unfamiliar with the author of the quote, and that gives us the chance to look up the author and find about more about her. These are inspiring quotes made by remarkable people. The book is an asset to me and my whole family.
