Her father's parents are Ali and Azar, and her mother's parents are Maria and Paul. Sarah enjoys visiting them.
With Grandmother Azar, Sarah helps make kofte and listens to stories from the Koran. With Grandmother Maria, she helps make cupcakes and listens to stories from the Bible.
From her grandparents, Sarah hears the story of the nativity, the birth of the baby Jesus, from two different perspectives. Their similarities are comforting, but the differences can be confusing.
When Sarah asks questions and considers the answers she receives, she is reminded that both are about 'the mystery of God' and realises that her family, living together and peacefully, is of great importance.
A book created by Janine Fraser and Helene Magisson, Sarah's Two Nativities shares an important message in a simple way, one that young children will understand.
A perfect story for families everywhere to read at anytime, but especially at Christmas.
