Winner of the 2017 Illumination Award and 2016 Moonbeam Award for Book Arts, The Birth of Jesus: A Christmas Pop-Up Book brings the Christmas story to life in a way like never before.

This beautiful retelling of Jesus' birth in a stable captures the awe and wonder of the biblical Christmas story with incredible artwork from world-renowned illustrator and paper engineer Agostino Traini. Each page of the story comes to life with charming illustrations and intricate pop-ups, from the angel's visit to Mary to the moment she lays baby Jesus in the manger. The timeless Christmas story, now in pop-up form, is a perfect keepsake to read with young children and revisit for years to come.

The Birth of Jesus won a 2017 Illumination Award in the holiday category - an international contest designed to honor the year's best titles written and published with a Christian worldview. It also won a 2016 Moonbeam Award in the Book Arts category. Launched in 2007, the Moonbeam awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to celebrate children's books and life-long reading.
