In R. J. Palacio’s bestselling collection of stories
, which expands on characters in
, readers were introduced to Julian’s grandmother, Grandm豕re. Here, Palacio makes her graphic novel debut with Grandm豕re’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 Grandm豕re 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,

or the blockbuster movie adaptation and its message.
