"Like Unwrapping a Warm Blanket": Marine Vet and Tech Exec Create New Christmas Classic
FORT WORTH, Texas – November 19, 2025
In a world that often feels divided, a new children's book is reminding families of the unifying power of faith, friendship, and courage. Gabriel the Brave: A Christmas Story, created by lifelong friends Carter Amon and Darryl Erby, is being hailed as a "warm blanket" for the soul.
The story follows Gabriel, a small angel who feels too shy to sing in the heavenly choir. But when God calls him for a special mission, Gabriel must find the courage to trust in God's plan. It's a message that resonates with children and adults alike.
"We wanted to create something that felt timeless," says Illustrator Darryl Erby. "A story that you could read every Christmas Eve and feel that same sense of wonder and comfort."
The book's unique visual style, created using advanced AI tools guided by Erby's artistic vision, brings the nativity story to life in a way that is both classic and fresh.
