Wonder (Palacio Novel)
''Wonder'' is a children's novel written by R. J. Palacio, published on February 14, 2012. ''Wonder'' was inspired by an incident where her son started to cry after noticing a girl with a severe facial deformity.

She named the book directly after the song and used the song's chorus as the prologue of the first chapter. Several spin-offs, including the calendar book ''365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Book of Precepts'', ''We're All Wonders'', ''Auggie and Me'', and ''White Bird'' have been published.
