Heartwarming Read
White bird showcases the past in a heartwarming and emotional way, it opened my eyes to the holocaust without having to open a text book. I love the metaphor it contains like ‘white bird’ meaning soul flying free and free spirit. The cartooning works perfectly with the storyline as it allows you to see the emotion on the characters face, beautifully displayed. Most of all, it shows this generation the past which we are starting to forget. Coming from a 12 year old, this is highly recommended and even if you are not a fan of the wonder series be sure to check this one out, it is very different from the rest.
beautiful and poetic
The most touching book I have ever come upon, an excellent addition to the Wonder series. The story of Grandmere unfolds in incredible illustrations. This book made me cry many times throughout, though I rarely tear. It flows so poetically and beautifully. Definetely recommend. p
