![]() My Thoughts: I ugly cried in this telling of Grandmère’s life story during WWII where she met a crippled boy who saved her life. With poignant symbolism and gorgeous artwork that brings Sara’s story out of the past and cements it firmly in this moment in history, White Bird is sure to captivate anyone who was moved by the book Wonder or the blockbuster movie adaptation and its message. As Grandmère tells Julian, “It always takes courage to be kind, but in those days, such kindness could cost you everything.” This is the story of Grandmère as a young Jewish girl hidden away by a family in Nazi-occupied France during the start of World War II, and how the boy she and her classmates once shunned became her savior and best friend.Sara’s harrowing experience movingly demonstrates the power of kindness to change hearts, build bridges, and even save lives. ![]() Palacio’s collection of stories Auggie & Me, which expands on characters in Wonder, readers were introduced to Julian’s grandmother, Grandmère. ![]()
