In the sequel to Wonder called Augie & Me, we meet Julian's Grandmere. White Bird is her story in graphic novel format in answer to her grandson's questions about her mysterious childhood. Sara's village in France is taken over by Nazi soldiers during World War II and as a Jewish girl, she is already experiencing prejudice at school. When the soldiers come to round up the Jewish students, Sara's handicapped seat mate, Julien, helps her escape and his family hides her in a nearby barn. Palacio's artwork vividly shares the drama and emotion with readers.
