Wonder & Wonderfilled

Every time I see the new Wonderfilled commercials for Oreos, my mind automatically goes to the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio.  It’s probably one of my favorite books of all time, which is not easy for me to say because I love so many books!  If you haven’t seen the commercial yet, take a look on YouTube.  Owl City recorded the music for the commercial and the whole commercial is absolutely adorable with characters typically of the bad variety including the big bad wolf, a vampire, and sharks, but if someone were to give them an Oreo, would their stories change?  As if choosing to be kind to a person might make their reaction to you or others, kind as well.

What I can’t stop thinking about is the book, Wonder.  The commercial uses the same blue color as the cover of the book with a similar type of font as well!  Oreos might make the perfect snack (and extension activity) to a book discussion about Wonder.  Choosing kindness rather than judging a character by their looks.  It makes me pause and wonder if that was intended or just a coincidence, what are your thoughts?
