Hi, Maria;
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this book and movie. I think it is a shame this movie didn't do as well in theatres as some of the other new releases. The lessons about bullying and misunderstanding of someone who is 'different' are sorely needed by the youth of today,

You have my last 6 of the week for your compassion and recommendation of I 'WONDER'.Thanks for sharing. It sounds emotion stirring, and thought provoking. When I was a teacher, I saw how cruel kids can be to disfigured or disabled kids, so this will be a heart wrenching movie to see.
Hugs, Trisha

This is an amazing review of an equally amazing book! I have read Wonder before, and it definitely teaches us a lot. You pretty much covered the main messages that the book is conveying. We can all learn to be kind to others, and not judge them based on their appearances. As the saying goes... don't judge a book by it's cover.
Great work :)

Yes, reality always bear scars, but can often be beautiful ones if seen beneath the core. No doubt this is a beautiful book. I always like stories of triumph.
My best wishes.

A lovely insight into why this book was written in the first place and then the marvelous story that she told about looking beyond the visible. Thanks for sharing the Wonder trailer, looks like a tear jerker. Nicely told Maria,
enjoyed reading about this book.

This was definitely inspiring and enjoyable to read Maria. It is remarkable that some of mankind can cause such harm and be so cruel. I am a firm believer that one should walk a mile in the other persons shoes. This was a great write up on the book and the movie. I have seen the movie and several parts stuck with me and now you have convinced me to find the book. Thanks so much.
