This is difficult for Auggie because he doesn' t want special treatment, but he also doesn' t want to be a burden to others. However, due to his physical differences, Auggie naturally stands out. Wonder offers lessons on empathy and understanding. Palacio shows readers that no matter what we look like on the outside, we are all human and want to be accepted on the inside.
