    August Pullman, conocido como “Auggie”, es un niño de 10 años que ha nacido con una rara deformidad facial, por ello ha pasado por numerosas cirugías para poder respirar, ver, oler y mejorar su aspecto. Durante toda su infancia ha sido educado por su madre en el hogar. Sin embargo, sus padres han considerado que ha llegado el momento de inscribirlo en el centro educativo para iniciar el quinto curso de Educación Primaria. Son muchas las inseguridades y miedos surgidos no sólo desde sus progenitores y hermana, sino también desde el propio protagonista, quien acude los primeros días escolares vestido de astronauta para no mostrar su cara. No obstante, Auggie será centro de miradas de sus compañeros y objeto de continuas burlas y ataques. Posteriormente, gracias a la buena labor del equipo docente, a la sensibilidad y empatía del alumnado y al continuo cuidado familiar logran que Auggie supere sus inseguridades y se muestre a los demás tal cual es, un ser maravilloso que siente y vive la escuela como un entorno feliz.

    August Pullman, known as “Auggie”, is a 10-year-old boy who was born with a rare facial deformity, which is why he has undergone numerous surgeries to be able to breathe, see, smell and improve his appearance. Throughout his childhood he has been educated by his mother at home. However, his parents have considered that the time has come to enroll him in the educational center to start the fifth year of Primary Education. There are many insecurities and fears that arise not only from his parents and sister, but also from the protagonist himself, who attends the first school days dressed as an astronaut so as not to show his face. However, Auggie will be the center of attention from his classmates and the object of continuous ridicule and attacks. Subsequently, thanks to the good work of the teaching team, the sensitivity and empathy of the students and the continuous family care, they ensure that Auggie overcomes his insecurities and shows himself to others as he is, a wonderful being who feels and lives school as a happy environment.
