From Term 1 until the end of Term 2, we as a Grade have been reading the book, Wonder in our English reading lessons.
The story line is about a boy named August. Also known as Auggie. He has a facial deformity which I feel makes him quite insecure. He's been home schooled all his life and for the first time, he went to an actual school in Grade 5.
A few kids such as one in specific, Julian, bully/tease August and play the 'cheese touch'. One day a girl, Summer, who I relate to the most, walks up to Auggie and starts to have a conversation and starts to get to know him and is really fond of him.
This story has a line which really stuck with me because its very short and to the point. Let's also not forget inspiring. "Choose Kind". its such a simple thing to do and remember which I feel most people forget.
A movie about this book has been filmed and is coming out later this year. I'll attach the link for you to watch the trailer.

I highly recommend this book personally and it just teaches you that the small things you do, can make a huge impact on someones life. Whether it be positives or negative. Choose Kind.
