Wonder: Illustrated Edition
.jpg?sfvrsn=44518f64_1)
A beautiful, color illustrated edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Wonder, with a new afterword from the author. Experience the extraordinary story that inspired the Choose Kind movement, like never before.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid–but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and a blockbuster hit, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
This beautiful, color illustrated edition includes over twenty-five pieces of original art from Tad Carpenter, the artist behind the original cover. It also includes an essay from R.J. Palacio reflecting on ten years of Wonder and an introduction by Dina Zuckerberg, director of family programs at myFace, a non-profit dedicated to supporting the craniofacial difference community.

MAKE YOUR OWN TELESCOPE
With a telescope, you can more easily see how big the universe around us is. For this craft, you'll need:
- Cardboard tubes (left over from paper towel or toilet paper rolls)
- Construction paper
- Rubber bands
- Markers
How to create your telescope:
1. Roll a piece of construction paper over your cardboard tube and attach with rubber bands.
2. Make your telescope one-of-a-kind by drawing upon or decorating it with your own unique design.
3. When you're finished, just pull the construction paper tube to make your telescope even longer!
To amp up the fun, try creating an extra-long telescope with a wrapping paper roll or by connecting several smaller cardboard rolls!
