Fans are curious about whether White Bird is related to Wonder, the 2017 film based on R.J. Palacio’s works. As both a prequel and sequel, White Bird shifts focus from Auggie Pullman, a boy with Treacher Collins syndrome, to Julian, his former bully. Julian was expelled for his treatment of Auggie. Now, he embarks on a journey of redemption. Along the way, he is guided by stories of his grandmother’s courage during Nazi-occupied France.
Here’s Everything You Need to Know About White Bird Related to Wonder & Auggie
How Is White Bird Connected to Wonder?
White Bird serves as a bridge between past and present, directly connecting to Wonder. In Wonder, we follow Auggie Pullman, a 10-year-old boy who faces bullying due to his appearance. Julian, a wealthy student, is one of Auggie’s primary bullies and eventually gets expelled from school for his treatment of Auggie. White Bird picks up after these events and centers on Julian’s personal growth. The film also takes viewers back to the World War II era, where Julian’s grandmother Sara (played by Helen Mirren) recounts her experience of survival in Nazi-occupied France.
Julian’s grandmother’s story of courage during her youth parallels Julian’s struggle to come to terms with his past actions. Through her experiences, she helps him understand the importance of kindness, resilience, and moral courage, which ties White Bird to the message of compassion seen in Wonder.
Does Auggie Return in White Bird: A Wonder Story?
Although White Bird is centered around Julian, Auggie does not make an appearance in the film. However, his presence is still felt. In one scene, Julian looks at Auggie’s photo on social media, highlighting the lingering impact of his past actions. While Auggie doesn’t appear in the movie, his influence on Julian’s journey of redemption remains central to the narrative.
