White Bird follows Julian, the bully who left Beecher Prep, who is visited by his grandmere (grandmother) from Paris and is transformed by her remarkable story of compassion and courage. As a girl in Nazi-occupied France, the young grandmere goes into hiding with the help of a schoolmate, a young man who risks everything to give her the chance to survive. Together, they find beauty and love in the secret world of their own creation.

Actors Ariella Glaser and Orlando Schwerdt will play the lead roles, while Bryce Gheisar will reprise his role of Julian Albans from Wonder. Filmmaker Marc Foster, known for movies such as World War Z, Quantum of Solace, and The Kite Runner, will direct from a screenplay by Mark Bomback.
