One by Kathryn Otoshi

The book One is just as good as Kathryn's book Zero. Whereas Zero depicts self esteem and the desire to fit in with others her new book explores feelings and personality traits!

One would also be an excellent book to use for primary colours and art activities there are endless possibilities. A must have!

A short clip from a NatGeo Channel show called Taboo. This 3 minute clip is appropriate for upper elementary kids. Their son has a severe facial deformity, just like Auggie in Wonder. I felt that seeing a real little boy who actually struggles with the way the world sees him would make the power of Auggie's journey less mysterious for my kids:

Ask the kids to jot in their notebooks about their overall impressions, what they think the filmmaker's message was, and what, if anything, it had to do with Wonder.
