White Bird

I heard that R.J. Palacio wrote another Wonder story--a graphic novel called White Bird--so I checked it out from the library. This book elaborates on the Julian chapter of the original book and tells Grandmere's story as a young Jewish girl during the Holocaust.

This was a beautiful, powerful read. I loved the graphic novel format for the book, and the author did a great job telling the story. I read in the afterward that this book was meant to be an introduction to the Holocaust for children. Emmeline would not be emotionally ready for this book now (age 9), but I would love for her to read it in a couple years. I'd highly recommend this read!
