The Nativity

A republished edition of one of our backlist Christmas classics

Publishers Weekly

In Julie Vivas's retelling of The Nativity, first published in the U.S. in 1988, she pictures the Angel Gabriel as a friendly teen, who tells Mary of her role over a cup of coffee. Her soft watercolors capture the holy family as expressly human and earthy. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

JULIE VIVAS is the talented illustrator of I Went Walking by Sue Williams as well as the Mem Fox classics Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge and Possum Magic. She lives in Sydney, Australia.
