Reviewed Titles The Nativity	Julie Vivas Reviews Added June 12, 2007 The Nativity Illustrator: Julie Vivas Publisher: Voyager Books, an imprint of Harcourt, Inc Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: Available Now Genre: Children: Biblical/Holiday/Storybook Format: Softcover - Reprint Price: $7.00 ISBN-10: 0-15-206085-5 ISBN-13: 9780152060855 Reviewer: Sharyn McGinty Rating: 9 Gargoyles As I sat at the computer preparing to write this review, I suddenly wondered what I would say. What is there to say about a book already heavily praised? With text straight from the King James Version Bible, you can't say the story is original, but every time I read The Nativity to my children I feel as though I've never read it before. The credit for that belongs solely to the illustrator, Julie Vivas. Her illustrations are remarkable, realistic but possess a fairytale quality. Delicate yet emphatic. I could go on forever. Vivas' skill is extraordinary and it brings The Nativity to life. This is a book to be cherished for generations. Return to top of page.
