Description

A heartwarming celebration of Christmas, family, and faith by two of Australia's finest picture book creators.

Sarah loves her two grandmas – Grandmother Azar and Grandmother Maria. Grandmother Azar tells Sarah stories from the Holy Koran, while Grandmother Maria tells her stories from the Bible.

At Christmas time, Sarah snuggles in each of her grandmothers' laps and listens to two nativities stories about the birth of baby Jesus. They are the same in some ways, and different in others... but both can be Sarah's favourite.

Sarah’s Two Nativities beautifully depicts how love and understanding can bridge differences and create cherished memories, making it a perfect addition to any family's holiday tradition.
