This delightful keepsake book tells the gospel story of the nativity simply and faithfully, to evoke all the wonder of Christmas night. Author Sophie Piper is much respected for her charming retellings of Bible stories. In this book her lyrical text combines with soft pastel illustrations by Sophy Williams to produce a book that is full of colour and warmth, and evocative Christmas cheer. "Sophy Williams' illustrations are charming." Philip Reeve, children's author
