Overview

The biblical story of the Nativity is one about faith, love—and a miracle. With illustrations that are enchanting and unexpected, Julie Vivas reveals the human side to Mary's story, beautifully imagining the Angel Gabriel delivering the news to her, the exhausting journey with Joseph to Bethlehem, and at last the deliverance of the baby Jesus.

Illustrates the story of the birth of Jesus and the arrival of the wise men and shepherds at the manger.

Synopsis

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.

From the Publisher

"Vivas’ delicate, sure watercolors are a reminder that the humbleness of these people made the event more extraordinary—that the story is not only about the long ago and far away but about people with familiar joys and troubles."—Kirkus Reviews
