Chorus:
Just because you’re born different
Doesn’t mean you’re not the same
Don’t change who you are ….
Because of what,.. people say
Verse:
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover
What’s inside makes you who you are
Always be kind to one another
Those who are kind are shining stars
If you’re weird, you’re normal,
If you’re normal it’s a little weird
Stick up for your friends don’t be a bystander
Just waiting there
Lucky Me

About the Book
Wonder
By RJ Palacio
I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Hello Dearborn Park students. I’m so very excited to be working at this amazing school. We have a unique opportunity to create something as a team. This is one of my favorite books of poetry I’ve read. Let’s do this.
