R. J. Palacio

R.J. Palacio lives in New York with her husband, their two children, and their two dogs. For twenty years, she worked as an art director and cover designer for both well-known and unknown authors across various book genres. However, she always wanted to write. During all this time, she waited for the right moment to start, until she realized that such a moment would not come on its own. There is no perfect time to start writing a book, she thought. You just decide to do it and begin. "Wonder" was her first children's novel and a #1 New York Times Best Seller for over three consecutive years.
