Wonder is a contemporary children's novel written by R. J. Palacio[2] and published on 14 February 2012. Wonder is in part inspired by an incident where the author's son started to cry after noticing a girl with a severe facial deformity. Inspiration was also pulled from Natalie Merchant's song of the same name. Several spin-offs have been published, including 365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Book of Precepts,[3] We're All Wonders, Auggie and Me, and White Bird.[4] A film adaptation was released in 2017, and a spin-off sequel film (adapting White Bird) followed in 2024.
