SVFF First Look- An advance Screening of White Bird. Based on the book by the best-selling author of “Wonder”, this uplifting movie shows how one act of kindness can live on forever. In R. J. Palacio’s bestselling collection of stories “Auggie and 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.
