Katherine Hetzel brings us a Christmas tale based on a true story.
Sophie and Sam love Christmas. They especially love going to Grandpa's house. He collects nativity scenes of all different sizes and made out of all sorts of materials.
This year Grandpa has ordered a very special nativity scene from Italy that arrives when Sophie and Sam are visiting him. They eagerly open the package and are shocked to find the pieces broken.
After Sophie and Sam go home, Grandpa can't stop thinking about the broken nativity pieces and what he should do about them.
The Broken Nativity brings this true story to life with charming text by Katherine Hetzel and captivating illustrations by Shayna Renee Olivier that glistens with Christmas joy.
