    What is Treacher Collins
    Syndrome?
    The character, Auggie, was born with Treacher
    Collins Syndrome, characterized by multiple
    anomalies such as absent cheekbones and
    ears, diminutive jaw, near deafness and the
    need for a tracheostomy. Ms. Palacio wrote
    Wonder as a result of an encounter of her sons
    with a young child with Treacher Collins
    Syndrome in a Brooklyn ice cream parlor. Her
    boys’ negative reaction towards this child
    compelled her to conduct extensive research
    and write this endearing novel in order to raise
    awareness about difference and to teach
    people to be kind.
