R. J. Palacio was born and raised in New York City. She attended the High School of Art and Design and the Parsons School of Design, where she majored in illustration with the hopes of someday following in the footsteps of her favorite childhood author-illustrators, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Maurice Sendak, and the D'Aulaires. She was a graphic designer and an art director for many years before writing her critically acclaimed debut novel, Wonder, which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. We're All Wonders, which is based conceptually on the themes of her novel, represents the fulfilment of her dream to write and illustrate her own picture book. In addition to Wonder, R. J. has written Auggie & Me: Three Wonder Stories and 365 Days of Wonder. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, where she is surrounded by magical water towers, with her husband, their two sons, and their two dogs, Bear and Beau.
