Meet the Author and Illustrator
Gift of the Heart began as a real family tradition that author Aria Lambson wanted to share with others.
To bring the story to life, she teamed up with her son, Trevor Lambson, whose warm illustrations capture the joy, wonder, and spirit of Christmas.
Together, they created a book designed to inspire families to slow down, serve one another, and build traditions that will be treasured for generations.
