So I finally did it\u2026 I finally read Wonder. I just sat down on Sunday morning while Landon nuzzled next to me on the couch and read it. For years now, when folks hear about Landon\u2019s syndrome, most people offer \u201chave you heard about the book Wonder?!\u201d. This question is sometimes accompanied by an I\u2019m-so-sorry-for-you glance or even a I-know-how-hard-this-must-be stare because of this book.<\/p>\n

But until now I just didn\u2019t want to finish it. I started last summer. I cried at page 3 and thought \u201cNope, not going to purposely make myself cry anymore right now.\u201d Part of me didn\u2019t really want to read it because living it was certainly different than a tale of fiction. The other part of me hesitated because this was written by a random author, NOT by a real parent or family member or person with Treacher Collins. When I heard that the author simply saw a child one day with TCS, and she and her family fled from the store prompting her to reflect and then write the book\u2026 I had a hard time even looking at the book on my shelf.<\/p>\n

And then I realized, this author, this book, this story that \u201cteaches kind\u201d is exactly what this world needs. It\u2019s THIS book that may change each and every middle school out there. THIS story that might make school life for Landon happier and more full of kindness\u2026<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve spent time with the story. I\u2019ve cried with the characters and the painful words the children call Auggie. I really marvel at how much research this author must have done. And I now love that she took her own missed opportunity for a teaching moment with her kids and is in turn teaching the world how to choose kindness.<\/p>\n

This book also provides peace of mind for us \u201cspecial\u201d parents. We face this vast unknown in sending our kiddos off to school.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With headlines about bullying and remembering how tough middle school even was for ourselves, THIS book now gives us some solace that KINDNESS is being taught in the classroom in a really cool way. It\u2019s prompting discussion and debate and they are spending time on this during the school year. THIS is huge.<\/p>\n

My heart will break 1,000 times before she even reaches middle school. When every child stares and points, when every parent shuffles them by while glaring themselves yet not choosing to teach their kids better. When kids are mean to her face. I will now think of this fictional boy who is teaching the world SO much love. This book is teaching us the basics and what it\u2019s like to choose kindness at such a young age. And I marvel at what this book can also teach adults.<\/p>\n

So, my friends, please read this story. Please read it with your kids when it\u2019s time. Talk about how it made them feel. Talk about how it made you feel. And then pay those feelings forward.<\/p>\n
