Praise for White Bird:

"At once expressive and chaste, an elusive but ideal combination." —New York Times

"A story that shows the impact of the Second World War and the rise of fascism on what had been a pastoral, fairy-tale childhood, with White Bird pulling no punches in connecting that historical moment to what’s happening in the world today." —The Hollywood Reporter

“Extraordinarily powerful.... White Bird does not shrink from depicting the terror and violence of the Nazi occupation for younger readers, and respects the ability of those readers to handle strong material.” —Forbes

"A must-read graphic novel that is both heart-rending and beautifully hopeful." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A story of resistance, bravery, and survival.... This compelling story is served well by the graphic novel format." —Booklist

“Sure to be popular among fans of Wonder and educators who want to connect past to present.” —School Library Journal

"R.J. Palacio brings to life the nature of heroism and the real risks we face today." —Meg Medina, Newbery award-winning author of Mercy Suarez Changes Gears

"Rare, superb, timely, and timeless." —Mark Siegel, author of the 5 Worlds graphic novel series

二战时，一个犹太裔法国小女孩，如何在男孩的帮助下逃离危机？

互相厌恶的两个人，又是如何变成一辈子最好的朋友？

电影《奇迹男孩》原著小说作者R. J. Palacio新作，

再一次带你感受善良的勇敢力量！

Sara出生在一个温馨的法国犹太家庭，深受父母宠爱，在1940年德军占领巴黎之后，他们仍留在当时的法国维琪政权下的法国。但1943年，德国士兵来到莎拉的学校，打算逮捕所有犹太学生。Sara被同学Tourteau偷偷藏了起来，尽管Sara和其他朋友过去总因Tourteau患病跛行的姿势嘲笑他，但Tourteau不计前嫌帮助Sara，将Sara藏在家里的谷仓中。尽管身处危机之中，但Tourteau不吝给予Sara爱与支持，让他们俩就此成为最好的朋友。

在一场祖孙间的视讯对话中，Sara将她过往的人生故事娓娓道来，和孙子Julian分享她在二次世界大战时，身为犹太裔法国人的亲身经历……

《White Bird》是一本图像小说，主角Sara痛苦的经历让我们知道，善良的力量可以改变人心，建立彼此之间的桥樑，甚至可以拯救生命。就像奶奶Sara跟Julian所说的：“善良需要勇气，而在那样的日子裡，善良可能会令你付出所有代价。”改变生命的善良力量一直是作者R.J. Palacio作品中的重要元素，在新作《White Bird》中，她再一次带领读者複习这种温暖人心的深刻力量。

For more than twenty years, she was an art director and graphic designer, designing book jackets for other people while waiting for the perfect time in her life to start writing her own novel. But one day several years ago, a chance encounter with an extraordinary child in front of an ice cream store made R.J. realize that the perfect time to write that novel had finally come. Wonder is her first novel. She did not design the cover, but she sure does love it.
