Sarah’s Two Nativities cover

The story revolves around Sarah, who cherishes the nativity tales told by her grandmothers, celebrating the beauty of both traditions in Sarah’s Two Nativities.

In Sarah’s Two Nativities, we are introduced to a young girl named Sarah who finds joy in the rich tapestry of stories from both the Bible and the Koran. Living in a home where these two sacred texts coexist, Sarah is nurtured by the wisdom and love of her two grandmothers. Grandmother Azar shares tales from the Koran, while Grandmother Maria recounts stories from the Bible, creating a beautiful blend of cultural and spiritual heritage in Sarah's life.

As the holiday season approaches, Sarah's favorite moments are spent nestled in the warmth of her grandmothers' laps, where she listens to the nativity stories that celebrate the birth of Jesus. Each grandmother presents her own version of the story, highlighting both the similarities and differences that exist between the two traditions. This unique perspective allows Sarah to appreciate the beauty of both narratives, fostering an understanding of diversity and unity in faith.

Sarah’s Two Nativities is a heartfelt exploration of love, family, and the power of storytelling. It emphasizes the importance of embracing different cultures and beliefs while finding common ground. Through Sarah's eyes, readers are invited to witness the magic that happens when two worlds come together in harmony, creating a sense of belonging and love that transcends boundaries.
