After losing his mother, ten-year-old Nicholas Gharu is uprooted from his home in Kent, England, and sent to Nigeria with his strict nanny and distant father. Shielded by wealth and comfort, he finds himself struggling to understand the poverty surrounding him and to navigate the rules and expectations of his new school.
At school, Nicholas encounters Gretchen, a brilliant yet condescending girl, and Stephen, a class bully whose hidden kindness gradually surfaces. Desperate to win his father’s attention and validation, Nicholas makes a daring choice—stealing a bank card to go on a shopping spree. What begins as a selfish adventure turns into an eye-opening lesson in generosity, empathy, and responsibility.
As Nicholas plans a grand party to impress his old friends, he realizes that true happiness isn’t measured by money, attention, or material success. Instead, it’s found in the bonds we form, the compassion we show, and the lives we touch.
Filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable characters, Nicholas’ First Nativity is a charming and thoughtful children’s story about growing up, learning from mistakes, and discovering the joy of giving.
