Customer Reviews

This is my favourite children's book of all time.
I 'discovered' this wonderful depiction of the Christmas story when I first came to work in a primary school library, way back in 1987. A copy of the book has now become one of my treasures at home and I have purchased several copies for friends. Surely there is no other nativity story book that so clearly shows the human side of the young mother and I believe that children can relate more readily to the characters when they are drawn with such a great sense of humour. I do have to admit though that the angel is my favourite!!

A delightful book for all ages. Endearing illustrations.
We just purchased 10 copies of Vivas's wonderfully illustrated story of the Ntivity. Classic scriptural text is made new and humanly real with charming watercolor images of preciously comic little angels, a Mary that is "great" with child, and faces on all characters that will make you smile. It is a lovely way to reread the old words with renewed meaning.

A beautiful, human presentation of Christ's birth.
The Illustrations by Ms Vivas bring to life the story of the birth of Jesus. Her touching art work brings to life the nativity story within a very human framework. I have personally given many copes of this book for gifts to friends. It is always well received, especially by adults.
