White Bird: A Wonder Story

In R.J. Palacio's best-selling collections of stories, 'Auggie & Me', which expands on characters in 'Wonder', audiences were introduced to Julian's grandmother, Grandmère. Here, Palacio presents Grandmère's heartrending story: how she, a young Jewish girl, was hidden by a family in a Nazi-occupied French village during World War II; 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. As Grandmère tells Julian, "It always takes courage to be kind, but in those days, such kindness could cost you everything." With poignant symbolism 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. This full-cast audio adaptation of 'White Bird' transforms the graphic novel into a truly original audio performance. This audiobook includes a PDF of the Glossary, Suggested Reading List, Organizations and Resources, and Bibliography.
