Synopsis
The story of the Nativity is read in homes, schools and churches all through Advent, year after year. The emotion and detail in Anne Yvonne Gilbert's exquisite illustrations will make this picture book of the first Christmas stand out in the memory with all the awe and splendour that the birth of Jesus evokes. The retelling follows the traditional sequence of episodes and echoes the language of the Gospels themselves. A picture book to be treasured.

From the Author
Sophie Piper is the pseudonym of an in-house author.Anne Yvonne Gilbert's work ranges from children's books and postage stamps to posters and record sleeves. Her love of fairy tales and history combined has resulted in the design and illustration of many books for publishers worldwide. Amongst her many other commissions she has designed three sets of postage stamps for Royal Mail, (her 1984 nativity winning 'The World's Most Beautiful Stamp' and the 'Golden Stamp Award'). Her originals are held in many private collections including those of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the late H.R.H. Princess Margaret.
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—This retelling uses the Gospels of Luke and Matthew in approachable text for younger readers. Beautiful and captivating soft-hued illustrations draw readers into each page. The story begins with the visit by the angel Gabriel, who lets Mary know about God's plan for her, and moves to the journey to Bethlehem with Joseph and the birth of God's only son in a stable. The shepherds are visited by angels telling them of the special birth, and three wise men arrive with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. King Herod's unease about the birth of a new king is explained to the wise men by an angel in a dream, and they make the decision to return to their home country by a different route. The holy family's escape into Egypt concludes with the hopeful words, "When he grows up, he will bring God's blessing to the world." Angels appearing in people's dreams definitively tie the threads of the Nativity tale together. VERDICT This charming introduction to the story of the birth of Jesus should be considered for all holiday collections.—Diane Olivo-Posner, Los Angeles Public Library
