Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a remarkable Graphic Novel and an inspiring story set against the background of the Holocaust during World War II and written and illustrated by R. J. PALACIO--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and HARDCOVER with no dustjacket as issued.  This book is in SUPERB condition and the book has a slight forward list of the spine end, a VERY slight and tiny bend (not a full crease) on the bottom right tip of a few of the book's central pages and a slight ding on the lower left tip of the back cover but NO other significant imperfections!  The book is titled White Bird; A Wonder Story and it was written and illustrated by R. J. PALACIO; it was published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2019 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.

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.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
