Choose Kind

R.J. Palacio's book Wonder, published in 2012, kicked off a campaign of kindness in schools and libraries. Click here for a summary on Goodreads. Wonder is best suited for 4th and 5th grade readers, but kindness is for everyone! Below is the book trailer for this book.







Now R.J. Palacio has written a picture book for our PreKindergarten- 3rd grade students called We're All Wonders. Click here for a summary on Goodreads. I love this book just as much as the chapter book! Please help our community by spreading the message of kindness. We could all use a little more kindness in our lives.




The book Wonder is now a major motion picture! The release date for the movie Wonder is November 17, 2017. I am counting the days into I can go to the theater and watch the movie. I think I'm going to have to reread the book before I go see it! Below is the movie trailer. I get goosebumps each time I watch it!
