“My book and my album were inspired by the song ‘Joy to the World,’ and it is an invitation to sing of the hope we have because God has put on the skin and moved into the neighborhood,” shares Ellie Holcomb. “I hope these songs invoke dancing in the kitchen while you bake Christmas cookies and tell the best stories.” I hope this helps children think about what joy looks like and why we can have joy no matter what we face.
The Christmas Book explores the question of what joy looks like as the reader journeys through beautiful Christmas scenes in the board book, illustrated by Laura Ramos. Likewise Sing: Christmas Songs is an invitation to sing the hope of the season and features classic and original Christmas songs. Holcomb’s sweet and beautiful Christmas celebration encourages every reader and listener, young and old, to lift up their voices and repeat the resounding joy!
Holcomb continues, “Joy sounds like the voices of my friends and family in my house while I prepare a meal. It seems like my kids are singing happily in their room together or like Christmas carols and bells and laughter and flowing water. It seems like It’s A Wonderful Life is playing in the background and Charlie Brown Christmas and Linus are reading the most wonderful story that came true in real life…the magic of knowing we are never alone and hearing this message ring true again and again. in all the songs we sing at Christmas. We have a reason to sing, a reason to hope. Love has the last word. Good news of GREAT JOY!”
