Through alternating perspectives from Auggie, his family, and classmates, the novel explores themes of kindness, acceptance, and resilience. It highlights the impact of empathy and how small acts of kindness can transform lives. Auggie’s story encourages readers to look beyond physical appearances and understand the power of compassion and inclusion.
