"The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil.

Ten-year-old August “Auggie” Pullman, protagonist of “Wonder” by R. J. Palacio, suffers from a recessive mutant gene that left him with mandibulofacial dysostosis.
