From the publisher:
Ahora tambien una gran produccion cinematografica titulada Alas blancas, coprotagonizada por Helen Mirren y Gillian Anderson. Libro ganador del Premio Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner 2020. En esta historia la abuela de Julian le cuenta como ella, Sara, fue acogida por una familia en un pueblo frances ocupado por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Le explica como fue perseguida por ser judia y como el nino al que todos rechazaban se convirtio en su salvador y mejor amigo. Esta desgarradora y conmovedora experiencia demuestra el poder de la amabilidad para cambiar corazones, construir puentes e incluso salvar vidas. Como su abuela le dice a Julian: Siempre se necesita valor para ser amable, pero en aquellos tiempos, esa amabilidad podia costarte todo. La primera novela grafica de R. J. Palacio tiene un simbolismo tan potente que es capaz de traernos del pasado un valiosisimo mensaje. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Soon to be a major motion picture, White Bird, starring Helen Mirren and Gillian Anderson! 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, Grandmere. Here, Palacio makes her graphic novel debut with Grandmere'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 Grandmere 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.
