R. J. Palacio’s unforgettable graphic novel debut is a story about the power of kindness and unrelenting courage in a time of war. SYDNEY TAYLOR AWARD WINNER • A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In R. J. Palacio's bestselling collection of stories Auggie & Me , which expands on characters in Wonder , readers were introduced to Julian's grandmother, Grandmère. Here, Palacio makes her graphic novel debut with 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 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. Praise for White Bird: "At once expressive and chaste, an elusive but ideal combination." — New York Times "A story that s hows the impact of the Second World War and the rise of fascism on what had been a pastoral, fairy-tale childhood, with White Bird pulling no punches in connecting that historical moment to what’s happening in the world today." — The Hollywood Reporter “ Extraordinarily powerful .... White Bird does not shrink from depicting the terror and violence of the Nazi occupation for younger readers, and respects the ability of those readers to handle strong material.” —Forbes "A must-read graphic novel that is both heart-rending and beautifully hopeful." — Kirkus Reviews, s tarred review "R.J. Palacio brings to life the nature of heroism and the real risks we face today." —Meg Medina, Newbery award-winning author of Mercy Suarez Changes Gears "Rare, superb, timely, and timeless." —Mark Siegel, author of the 5 Worlds graphic novel series Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This is an amazing graphic novel. Set in the same universe as Palacio’s Wonder but during World War II, it stands on its own as a powerful story. While it’s marketed for kids, it resonates with readers of all ages. Julian (Auggie’s bully in Wonder) is working on a school project and asks his grandmother for a story. She recounts her experiences as a young Jewish girl in France during WWII. The story is both heartbreaking and beautiful, illuminating both the highs and lows of humanity. I cried no less than eleven times. The artwork is simple yet stunning, allowing the narrative to truly shine. A touch of magical realism adds levity to the story’s intensity. I loved this graphic novel! It’s a story that will stay with me for a long time. Art:4.5/5 Plot: 5/5 Writing: 5/5 My Enjoyment:5/5 Review: recommend both book and film - I read the book and saw the recent film and highly recommend both. The film follows the book for most of the story which it relates accurately. I tend to prefer the setting of the film, with the grandmere in person in NYC. Her lifetime valedictory address at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for her artistic achievement, growing out of her drawings depicted in the story narrative, emphasizes that the saving of her life has brought goodness and beauty to the world at a high level. Upon reflection, the reverse implies all that was lost in the unnecessary deaths of millions in WWII. I strongly recommend studying the Afterward, Author's Note, Dedication, Glossary (which is much more than a glossary), Suggested Reading List, and Bibliography which cover the last 13 pages of the book and give substantial additional background to the book. Photos of people who were inspiration for the book's characters are shown. The author cites The Diary of Anne Frank as long being heavily influential. While not Jewish herself, the author's husband is Jewish and she presents how his family background heavily influenced her writing. We will be viewing the film at our church group and I will recommend the book as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #268,427 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Children's Holocaust Historical Fiction Books #28 in Children's Multigenerational Family Life #377 in Children's Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,191 Reviews | ## Images ![White Bird: A Wonder Story (A Graphic Novel) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TLPv4refL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *by J***C on October 3, 2025* This is an amazing graphic novel.

My 10 year old did bring it to me to point out propaganda in the illustration at the very end with Trump's name. We are a Hispanic family that moved from the border of CA/MX to TX and my children are aware enough to know that the hoards of undocumented people that were coming in resulted in terrible crimes against American people. So they can catch ignorance when they spot it on this particular issue. The author didn't experience the issue the same as people living at the border and portrays it differently, much like you would experience it as a left-wing activist from afar. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/114709585-white-bird-a-wonder-story-a-graphic-novel](https://www.desertcart.es/products/114709585-white-bird-a-wonder-story-a-graphic-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
