R. J. Palacio is Making Her Graphic Novel Debut with a Holucaust-Themed Story WHITE BIRD: A WONDER STORY
R. J. Palacio is possibly best known for her novel Wonder. Well, now she’s taking a step into the world of graphic novels with White Bird: A Wonder Story. Based on the premise, I’d probably love this story. When I was younger, I loved books with similar premises, so I’m pretty interested in this one.
“The bestselling novelist of Wonder, R. J. Palacio is making her graphic novel debut this fall with WHITE BIRD: A Wonder Story, an unforgettable story of the power of kindness and unrelenting courage in a time of war. With WHITE BIRD, Palacio both writes and illustrates the story of a young Jewish girl hidden away by a boy and his family in Nazi-occupied France during World War II.”
White Bird will be written and illustrated by Palacio and debut on October 1. Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers is publishing the graphic novel. I’ve included a preview as well as the dates for her upcoming book tour below. Are you interested in this story?
