White Bird (also marketed with the subtitle A Wonder Story) is a 2023 American period drama film directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Mark Bomback, based on the 2019 graphic novel of the same name by R. J. Palacio. A spin-off, prequel and "companion piece" to Wonder (2017), the film stars Ariella Glaser, Orlando Schwerdt, Bryce Gheisar, Gillian Anderson and Helen Mirren, with Gheisar reprising his role as Julian from Wonder.
The film premiered at the 43rd San Francisco Jewish Film Festival on July 30, 2023, and is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2023, by Lionsgate.
After the events of Wonder, Julian has left Beecher Prep for good. He is visited by his grandmother from Paris, who tells him stories of her childhood as a young Jewish girl in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, while being hidden from the Nazis by a distant classmate and his parents.
