A Closer Orbit: Relationship and Empathy in 'Wonder'

In this adaptation of the acclaimed children's book, a boy whose appearance is affected by an unusual medical condition navigates his first year at school, learning along the way to make friends, avoid bullies and forgive those who have hurt him. As Carolyn Leslie writes, the film has much to say about the power of kindness and the importance of accepting difference.
