RE: Did you ever WONDER how you can apologize to a stranger if you don't know how to find them? Author R.J. Palacio found a way... and Hollywood made a movie about it.

That's amazing. I saw the book late July when my young cousin, 11 years old, came to Spain with my aunt. We were sitting at a cafe, and I noticed the book she was holding - she reads all the time. When I asked her about it, she told me the story was about a boy who is deformed. I didn't know the background story then, but I thought it was great to have a book like that which can teach children about diversity, acceptance and compassion. Thank you for sharing the moral of the story and for making the important point that it's not only for children!

Sounds like your cousin is a great kid!

Thank you! She is wonderful. She even remembers what books I got her when she was 3 and 4. I can't remember what I had for dinner two nights ago!!
