Summary:
In book "Wonder", readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. This companion book features conversations between Mr. Browne and Auggie, Julian, Summer, Jack Will, and others, giving readers a special peek at their lives after Wonder ends. Mr. Browne's essays and correspondence are rounded out by a precept for each day of the year<U+2014>drawn from popular songs to children<U+2019>s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate the goodness of human beings, the strength of people<U+2019>s hearts, and the power of people<U+2019>s wills. There<U+2019>s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho<U+2014>and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.
