This book tells the story of Auggie, a boy with only one eye, from his own point of view. Auggie knows he is different – he doesn’t explain how, but the illustrations fill us in. Yet he also knows that he likes to do a lot of the same things as many other kids, and his interests are very similar.
Auggie’s mum says he is a wonder, and his little dog Daisy thinks so, too. But some other people don’t perceive this – they only see that Auggie is different, and they can be very unkind.
When Auggie and Daisy feel this way, they put on their helmets and blast off, up through the clouds, across the galaxy and go to Pluto.  All along the way, there is a friendly little bird tagging along with them.
Auggie knows he can’t change the way he looks, but he hopes that he can change the way people see.
Because, as Auggie says, we are all wonders.
